Some of us have that problem with type-embellished code now.I'm not
sure a little language would be such a bad idea. 🤔Fortunately, my
relationship to the working world allows me to simply ignore explicit
typing. 😉
Way, way BITD I recall leaning on a crutch to generate complex C type
declarations. I no longer recall what it was called, but you gave it a
restricted English description of what you wanted ("function returning
pointer to function returning void pointer" or something similar) and
it spit out the necessary line noise.

Oh yes, I remember that... went Googling and found https://cdecl.org/
which is apparently the "modern" online version of that old tool.
I guess typing features might be useful for people that refuse to
write/read comments, but I mostly ignore the typing stuff too... and
hope I can continue to._______________________________________________
