It‘s just amazing how much a proper type system and a modern language makes refactoring a good dev experience.

    It really isn't though, I first learned to program with C++ then C# and when I later started learning JS and Python which lacked type checking I was constantly thinking "This will be such a pain in the ass if any of my tens of unenforced assumptions are ever voided".

    Assuming your languages are TS/JS then yeah, it's bliss, the technical debt ceiling is a lot higher

    @tbjgolden JS? One has to explain to me how you are supposed to refactor something and not introduce a fuckton of bugs.
    TS, it depends. It has the tools, but it will only help if the devs are actually using them consistently.

    My language is Swift currently.
