I came from a cpp background and loved it the moment I saw it. Like, you mean I just go var foo = ... and then I can put anything? No type casting?? No types??? Finally, I was free.
But I’ve always been more of a hacker than a real programmer. I’ve since learned that there are advantages to using types, static checking, etc…
I mostly work in Python, but we use types at work. For a hack day project I skipped typing stuff for like an hour, and then went “wait this sucks” and added types. It was easier overall.

Don’t ever come to me saying “finally I am free from types” very few things make me angry. Rejecting types is one of them.
Also its

There wasn’t any let or const when I got into it hahaa
