}Type Rules (strict by design)
Rule 1: Use
var only for built-in datatypes and collections.
Rule 2: Use
obj only for class instances.
Expected compile-time errors
// Invalid: class type with var
var x @ Person = Constructor("Ada", 42)
// Error: Variables can only be created with built-in datatypes (or arrays/matrices).
// Objects must be created with 'obj' from a class.
// Invalid: datatype with obj
obj x @ int = 12
// Error: Objects can only be created from classes.
// Datatypes can only be used with 'var' declarations.
