I am a huge fan of types, therefore having to use types isn’t the problem.
I am a self-taught dev, and what I feel I miss is all the background and mindset of compiled languages, memory heap/stack and all that baggage that a dev as when he is used to work with compiled languages.
I have read a lot and watched videos, but things just don’t stay in my memory for long, and once I don’t use compiled langs hardly enough I haven’t ingrained their mindset yet.
