Type systems are an accessibility tool for programming; for weakly languages you should enable type hints or type enforcement

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/25

I made [Wayback/Archive] Rebecca Skinner on Twitter: “Type systems are an accessibility tool for programming with ADHD.” stronger in the post title, as I have been a proponent of stronger typed environments for all my programming life.

Yes, (unit) tests and tooling can alleviate this in part for more weakly typed languages but lots of people forget (or “forget”) putting these in place.

So please please: make your development environment as strictly typed as possible.

Not just your ADHD colleagues will applaud you for this, but your future self will as well.
