var does not mean dynamic

I think using var in C#, the new Java versions and so on makes total sense. Why would you want to write

ArrayList<Type> list = new ArrayList<Type>()

... instead of

var list = new ArrayList<Type>()

With var it is way more readable imo.

@Haxk20 Yeah your right, let's just pollute the code with half a trillion redundant type declarations like this:

Dictionary<KeyValuePair<string, int>, List<Func<User, bool>>>

Instead of just using var. Real bright idea.

Or for example why would you use:

List<int> someList = new List<int>()

Instead of

var someList = new List<int>()

It's so much more readable.

I like watching Java developers being against this simple improvement. So many Aspergers and Stokholm syndrome victims.

You know what? It’s actually hard to find a modern, statically typed, oo language which doesn’t have variable type inference. Even C++ introduced it in c++11.

@Haxk20 I know where you come from, when I say a first intro to var I too was like "Yeah I'm not gonna use that". But now I can't live without it:)
