I was wondering what the best practices for declaring variables types in godot is? It's similar to Python in that variables types can be set dynamically. I find myself wanting to explicitly declare what a variable's type because I know that it's only going to be an int or something and I don't want to accidentally set it to the wrong type somewhere. This makes me think however that I'm wasting the "duck typing" aspect of the language. I don't think not explicitly setting the type if I'm using variables is the answer. However maybe setting up a bunch of variables like this in the first place is the wrong approach? Should I try to be using a more functional approach with GDScript?
