Language Design: Against Mixed-cased Type Names

There is no good reason¹ why some type names need to start with a lower-case letter (int, float, str, …) and others with an upper-case letter (String, BigInt, Array, …).

Instead: Pick one naming rule, and stick to it while building your language.

¹Stupid Reasons

1. fAmiLiAriTy
2. But types with lower-cased names are “primitives”!!1!
3. Akkkchually, they aren’t lower-cased type names, they are keywords for types!
