This is completely the opposite of my own experience. Using “var” makes the code easier to write AND easier to read. The code becomes decluttered from all the mess of types everywhere and you can read what it is actually doing.

Anyone who names their variables properly should have no problem telling what kind of types are being worked with anyway. And in the rare case you absolutely need specifics, they’re just a tooltip away.

I always find these arguments against “var” somewhat absurd because those same programmers work with fields and properties and methods from other classes all the time, and none of those requires you to write the type.

For an example, if you were to access “someExternalThing.bigRedTrain”, the type of “bigRedTrain” would be written nowhere in the current class. I fail to see how using “var bigRedTrain” is any different.
