Name before type: why 'age int' is better than 'int age'

Hard disagree. Is that a joke? Type is far More important than name. Just ask the compiler.

Are you a compiler?

Maybe, but i speak English that follows adjective - noun pattern. So I’m already conditioned to type - name

My language does that, as well as English in which I am fluent. I still find type-first to be impractical.

Also when you write the code, you are usually looking to create a variable, so maybe you type “var” or “const”, right, then you have a contextual name in mind, maybe salary. Then you can make a decision, which type it should be. Maybe “whole dollars”? “Dollars in a decimal number”? Or it could be a complex type in other contexts.

That’s how I prefer to write code. 👍

Maybe it makes more sense to someone who knows more than one language as well, e.g. languages that use a noun-adjective structure, like French, or Farsi. I don’t know. But for me it’s not about language, it’s about practicality. Findability and writability, if those can be considered words, lol.
