> The TS approach of "please at least annotate all your function signatures"

The whole signature or just the parameters? I thought typescript is pretty chill about inferring the return type on its own.

It usually is as long as you don't do anything recursive (and a few select polymorphic instances), I can see people getting bitten by it.

Having written inferring compilers and used C++ extensively I appreciate the workings, but I can also see people getting stuck with it.
