Normal lang:
int
bool
string
Java:
int
boolean
String

Because String is a class, wrapping an array of chars with a bunch of defined methods.

@irene no, std is sexually transmitted disease

String should always be treated as a class and should follow the same naming convention.

Fuck c++ and c# for lowercase string.

Well, because you use int a lot more than any other data type so it makes sense to make it short. And String is uppercase because it is not a primitive type, you could also use Integer and Boolean instead of int and boolean but that would be a waste of memory if it is not explicitly needed.

@jespersh Yeah but the standard is to use string when declaring variables. Plus everything else about C# naming conventions is fucked too.

@D3add3d That shouldn't justify breaking the pattern.

@ScriptCoded what pattern?

I like "normal" language vs "Java" 😂

@D3add3d Well, if it's named boolean I don't belive it should be abbreviated to int

@ScriptCoded The thing is that JVM does not really know a "boolean" - it behaves and operates in exactly the same way as "byte", it probably was not meant to exist and int is probably directly linked to int in C

@D3add3d Hmm, didn't think of it that way. Though I guess they could still have named it bool 🙈

@irene Uh, I never said there is actual bool in C and it is byte, not int. 32 bits for a one bit variable would be quite the waste of space

Edit: Ooooh, you probably meant to reply to @ScriptCoded
