i like when my strongly typed language can type itself, why should i have to type extra words because the compiler is stupid?
I'm not sure if you're being rhetorical or not, but "string|number" is definitely correct here. A computer could definitely figure this out, but typing is for the benefit of the coders more than the code itself. It's basically functional documentation
Yeah that's what I'm saying, I hate it when coworkers will assign everything as "any" just to avoid the scary red squigglies. Oh well I guess that's what code reviews are for 🙃
