The problem with eating pizza is nearly every restaurant with pizza also has some kind of ice cream. You'll just wind up with a bunch of people eating ice cream and pizza all over the place.

Like, type inference is pretty widely regarded as a definite good. Additionally, technologies like row polymorphism make it possible to have statically typed and inferred duck typing. To me it's hard to hear this as anything other than mission accomplished. We made a static language that looks and feels like a dynamic one.

If you don't like type inference, you'll need to offer additional explanation as to why it is bad. Because otherwise you're statement only sounds like the one I made above. It sounds weird because one doesn't necessitate the other AND because they're both widely considered good.
