The problem isn't typing, but reading.

Maybe other people's brains work differently than mine, but I'm sure I will be slightly slowed down by this.

When it comes to reading it is very clear in the IDE. val variables look normal (since immutability is encourage), var variables are underlined. You get used to it very quickly

That does help a lot.

I'm happy to be dependent on my IDE.
