> friends don’t just bring up type inference in casual conversation

I wonder if this is a reference to "I need you to understand that people don't have conversations where they randomly recommend operating systems to one another"

But to the actual point of the article: my understanding is that there are areas where you can use bidirectional typing (e.g. languages that have subclasses) where HM style type inference might become undecidable.
