<p>The main programming languages I write are PHP and JavaScript.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Both offer types where, as well as declaring a parameter or property, you can define what type it is - whether it's a string, array, boolean, etc.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Adding types is optional.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You don't need to add types to your PHP code, and you can choose to write plain JavaScript instead of TypeScript.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some people prefer simpler or cleaner code or less "visual debt".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I like the extra clarity that types add.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I like to be able to read some code and immediately know what types things should be.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I like the clearer errors and messages if a different type is given than was expected.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tools like PHPStan know more about my code and give better recommendations than if I don't add types.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I like the better autocompletion I get when writing code that has types.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I like types, but I also like the flexibility of whether or not to add them and for Developers and development teams to make their own decisions based on their preferences.</p>
