I think it's useful to use short names because it's quicker to type and at least these specific abbreviations are still easy to understand.
Seconded what Rdr said. The abbreviations are already common in languages like Rust (and even the Linux Kernel!) so I think it's plenty understandable.
I think we established that for the "primitive types" (e.g. integers, float and string) we're using the abbreviations and for anything else we should use the full name to avoid confusion
Currently the string and integer types are abbreviated to
str
ori32
. We should consider using proper names for them and for other stuff like functions or structs.str
would becomestring
i32
would becomeint32
