I think that *optional* part of the "optional type declaration" is a myth.
It may be optional in the sense that the language will accept missing declarations but as soon as the feature is available it will become "mandatory" to use it (peer pressure, workplace practices).
That's my fear - type declarations could become one of the most abused language features because they'd get used too often.
