Orkuncakilkaya b7745a4600 refactor(lang): rename the str type (and stringify builtin) to string
Expand the abbreviated string type and its conversion builtin to the full
word everywhere:
  str            ->  string        (the immutable-string type)
  str(x) -> str  ->  string(x) -> string   (the stringify builtin;
                                            what `{…}` interpolation calls)

Types are recognized by identifier, and llty maps both spellings to LLVM
`ptr`, so this is an atomic source rewrite: type annotations, the Ludic
type tags, the builtin name/dispatch, and the interpolation desugar, plus
the grammars, LSP, docs (type-str -> type-string, fn-str -> fn-string), and
inventory. int/bool stay (universally accepted, like Math).

Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

text-from_int Text.from_int text namespace-method Text.from_int Text.from_int(n) -> string Render an integer as a string. 10 Text from_int

Returns the decimal text of the integer n — Text.from_int(1234) is "1234", and negatives keep their sign. It is the same conversion as the bare string(n) and the inverse of Text.to_int. Use it when you need a number as characters — to measure its width, concatenate it, or store it — though drawing a number to the screen is better done with Screen.draw_number.

Parameters:

  • n — the integer to render
program ScoreLabel {
  var score: int = 1500

  handler Build phase Update {
    let label = Text.concat("score: ", Text.from_int(score))
  }
}
