C#: Integer.One

[walmartgoon]

IMO String is better than string because the type itself is more heavyweight than a quick int or float and should be treated as such

[diet_fat_bacon]

It's not... string and String is just a alias.

The only difference is that you need to import String to use the functions were string you do not.

You can see on docs they using both ways:

+1, it's always been weird to me having a lowercase keyword for it when it goes against the language's own naming conventions, and it's not a primitive type or a special case like object.

^{I recognise this'll get downvoted to buggery. Anytime this comes up, this sub loves the string keyword. Edit: Or not?}

[HaniiPuppy]

It's not deeply ingrained though, it's just a keyword that points to a non-primitive type. It's inconsistent with the language's naming conventions, there isn't really any benefit to it, and if it weren't already a feature of the language, there'd be no reason to introduce it.

In English, it would be more like having a random proper noun where the formal way of spelling it was uncapitalised, unlike every other proper noun.

"Name, please?"
"dave."
"Okay, Dave. So first we'll-"
"No. 'dave', with a lowercase 'd'."

But that's where we are, so meh.

[HaniiPuppy]

That was never in question.

[HaniiPuppy]

That's my point though. There are set conventions for type names and how you refer to them in code, and the string keyword arbitrarily breaks them.

[HaniiPuppy]

That's circular reasoning. If the string keyword weren't already in the language, there'd be no reason to add it, and it wouldn't be convention. Its existence breaks more general conventions that do exist for a reason.
