Imagine if their booleans were 64-bit long and their ints 32-bit

@csolisr Booleints. Not even once.

@csolisr "You can partition a 64-bit integer into the low-order word, the 'int', and the high-order word, the 'eger'."

@mcc @csolisr

You’d even have an extra byte to. zero-terminate it:

val integer: Int64 = ‘integer\0’

(Or however one would do that in Kotlin)

@mcc @csolisr the int is truculent and can only be made to interact by dint of concerted, patient effort, but the eger... WELL.

@mcc @csolisr Ugh that has a high level of cursed

@csolisr @mcc i've got a short int and loooong bool

@eater @csolisr @mcc it’s important to know the relative lengths of types otherwise you won’t have the right allocations

@mcc that just feels like trolling Java

@mcc Is its float "flo", but its double "Double"?

@mcc
It's the only type named after a person? (Nah It's probably some Java-inspired nonsense, but that's boring :)

@mcc
This really feels wrong. Since I haven't done Kotlin (yet), are there more such fingernail on the blackboard things?

@mcc I mean, the rain is clear, but you're right that the end result is inconsistent. I'd prefer longer names, since you don't write them often anyway.

@mcc take it up with them intellij folks
