Data types do matter, and someone's got to declare them at some point, or else your compiler won't know how to intepret them. It's just a question of who should be doing the declaring: you, or a parser algorithm? Personally, I don't like things being done for me.

Fr, though, duck typing in Python is one of my biggest annoyances.

Python with type hints and mypy and ruff = <3
Large Python codebase without types = nightmare

I'm too lazy to insert the "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" meme here, so.... Please imagine it instead.
I'm switching jobs in a couple of months, and I am SO glad to be leaving a (very well maintained!!) python codebase with type hints and mypy for a rust codebase.
It is just not the same.

Nice! I'd love to use Rust at work, I was a Haskell guy for hobby things, rather recently switched to Rust for that, and I enjoy it a lot. Taking 80% of the good lessons from functional programming while staying performant and practical and just have nice tooling - whoever designed Rust are wise people who know what is important for happy developers.
My job is mainly C++, and if you have seen the bright side of life, it is difficult not to be frustrated by the language and tooling. I think C++ without clang-tidy is almost as horrible as Python without types and linters. Undefined behavior and foot guns everywhere!

When I learned Python I thought that not having a statically typed language was the way to go, but then it just became an issue when I was trying to ensure that everything was at least something like what I was expecting. Going back to statically typed languages even harder with Rust has been a dream. I love it.

nasm? the x86 assembler from the 90s?
-
Eh, strict typing makes debugging way, way easier. Saint Grace brought us compilers for a reason. If all you have is assembly, you should start writing one.

For NASA, data types don't matter when you're programming Voyager 1 and 45 years later it gets hit by an energy burst causing 3% of the RAM to become unusable, and it's transmitting gibberish. It's awesome they were able to recover it.
-
It's documentation. I'm a strickler to type in python so later when I look at my code and go what does this do it's easier.

let comment: String = String::from(“lol”);
println!(“{}”, comment);-
println!("{comment}");C'mon, it's 2025!

Not inside a main function, won’t pass rust compiler check
-
Just a snippet from a bigger function.

I was actually tempted to try learning nasm for funsies a year or two ago until I discovered it doesn't support ARM processors 🥲
-
Not sure I've ever heard of nasm
