I find it quite the opposite. Verbose code that spells out the data type of  
each variable results in too much visual clutter that's taken up by minor  
details that are largely irrelevant to the task at hand. When trying to
understand existing code it's more readable to me when the bulk of it  
describes what it does, instead of how it does it.
