I’m full -1 on this one. It will make the language inconsistent. How do you
explain a new comer that type inference work in some case, but not in other
cases, while in both the compiler is completely capable to define the type.
Why
let myString = "hello"
would be accepted but not
class Foo {
let myString = "hello"
}
