I really, really like knowing what kind of object something is by looking at the code where it is created. I really, really like it. I find it extremely helpful.

This sort of thing:

auto x = function();

is so unhelpful

I find it frustrating and an active impediment when I can look at an object being created and not know what kind of object it is. In some programming languages, knowing what kind of object something is doesn't matter so much. Not the case here.
