Naming conventions

Nanyx uses camel case for values, functions, modules and tags, and Pascal case for types.

Kind	Case	Examples
Values and functions	camelCase	message, sayHello, userCount
Modules	camelCase	userManagement, collections.list
Types and contexts	PascalCase	Greeter, Console, $UserId
Tags	camelCase after #	#ok, #notFound
Custom pattern tags	PascalCase after #	#Hsl, #Even

-- Value

def message = "Hello world"

-- Function

def sayHello = { println("Hello!") }

-- Type

type Greeter = (greet: () -> ())

Because a record type alias is callable as a constructor (see Constructing records from a type alias), a Pascal-cased name in expression position is almost always such a constructor: Point(x = 1, y = 2).

Custom patterns use Pascal case after the # so that they are visually distinct from ordinary tags; see Custom patterns.
