My working memory is garbage and I do prefer working with dynamic langs, however. (I also have ADHD)

I do agree though if I have to work with spaghetti code, I'd much rather work with a language that has a proper type system (I mean a proper one, like OCaml, Standard ML, Rust, Gleam, Etc.) I think static typing in these languages doesn't get in the way, they all have varying degrees of type inference, the type system is sound and uncomplicated. Whereas a Language like Typescript's type system (of Facebook's Flow for JS) had my head spinning, It often felt like playing a mean spirited scavenger hunt with Simon from Simon says.

As far as dynamic langs go, some languages are terrible to work in, (Perl). and other languages because of strong conventions (Ruby and Elixir,) I find very very easy to work in, write tests, create libraries that use DSLs, etc.

So I guess I'm in the middle? leaning in the dynamic langs direction though.
