I vehemently disagree. Auto/var is a tool that may be used judiciously by your userbase. This new philosophy of blocking your users from using dangerous tools because you know better than them just invites workarounds and kludges. Give the user the tools and warn them of the ways it can go wrong. There's a reason Rust is losing the war to C++.

Anyways, var/auto is critical in some cases. C#'s LINQ, for example, would be very difficult to develop with if you had to manually figure out the type you were returning with long queries every time you wanted to restructure your query.

But they were talking about _docs_.

I disagree; you don't seem to be addressing what the parent is talking about (documentation). Whatever reason Rust is losing a war against C++ (it's really not), this isn't it.
