Types syntax

name: Type

Type-after-name declaration syntax for parameters, locals, and fields.

Affogato places the type after the name with a colon: count: int. Method return types can appear after parameters: greet(name: String): String. Java-style Type name(...) is also supported.

Affogato

    example.aff 
 greet(name: String!, age: int): String {
    return "Hello, " + name
}

var items: List<String> = List<String>() 

Generated Java

    Example.java 
 public String greet(String name, int age) {
    return "Hello, " + name;
}

java.util.List<String> items =
    new java.util.ArrayList<String>(); 

let — Immutable binding — equivalent to Java final.
var — Mutable binding for locals and fields.
func — Shorthand for void return type on methods.
