Slide with text: “Rust teams at Google are as productive as ones using Go, and more than twice as productive as teams using C++.”

In small print it says the data is collected over 2022 and 2023.

    1. That isn’t what I said at all. Reread?
    2. Find references / go to definition / rename has absolutely nothing to do with types.

      Find references / go to definition / rename has absolutely nothing to do with types.

      It absolutely does. Without static types an IDE/LSP can’t reliably find all the references / definition and therefore can’t refactor reliably either.

      Consider something like this:

      class Foo:
  bar: int

class Baz:
  bar: str

def a(f: Foo) -> int:
  return f.bar + 1

def b(f: Baz) -> str:
  return f.bar + "1"

      Now imagine you want to rename Foo.bar or find all references to it. Impossible without the type annotations.

        Ah, I see. You’re talking about object properties. I don’t see any issue with finding references to variables, but for properties, yeah.
