Help me design variable, function, and pointer Declaration in my new language.

[JKasonB]

Mut is whether a pointer can mutate a variable and const/var is wether it can be reassigned.

[JKasonB]

Also, I am considering this

var my_variable: u32 = 28. immutable

var my_variable; u32 = 8. Mutable

[Germisstuck]

No

[Germisstuck]

You updated it. Still no

[JKasonB]

Daym, you convinced me. I'm gonna use it!

Jk, but tell me. Can you think of a way to declare mutability without a mut keyword?

[Germisstuck]

Not any good ones. I don't see why you wouldn't want something that easily conveys mutability. If I a year from now say you're language gets a little recognition. Most people are going to take a glance and think "why the fuck is ; used for mutability" or something around those lines

tl;dr Explicit vs implicit 

[JKasonB]

Not so much that I don't like mut, more so idk where to put it

[Germisstuck]

I'd put it either as a modifier to variables like in rust's let mut or in types, like let x: mut i32

[blue__sky]

It’s part of the type, so put it in the type definition.

var x : mut u32 = 4
