I'm not sold on this. Often I type the output I want to get, and reverse the code to get there. and that's faster because it's now all auto completing.

That's been my experience of powershell and typescript. To a lesser extreme python because its type hints are a bit crap.

Though I can see why you might not agree after trying an extreme like Rust. Sometimes I want to run a broken program to stop the debugger and see what I'm dealing with and rust won't do that.
