Name before type: why 'age int' is better than 'int age'
benhoyt.com/writings/name-before-type/benhoyt.comName before type: why 'age int' is better than 'int age'A variable's name is more important than its type, so the name should be more prominent and come first in declarations.

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

Maybe this comes from a non-typed language perspective… As someone who learned in Java, I do not like it because yeah, type is way more important. If someone was coming from Python, I can see why they might think this…

I only use python and I don’t understand why someone might think that. The order in python’s type hints is wrong too.
