Not having type inference has made me grumpy about working on our codebase vs. tinkering in C# for the past decade. So you can guess where I stand on that. :)
I'm all for us adopting it in scenarios where the type of an object is immediately obvious (i.e. doesn't require navigation to a method or function call to determine what it is); it cuts out a lot of redundant boilerplate. As I typed that out, I realized intellij likely has type hints as well that one could use to bridge that gap as well in non-obvious situations.
