I agree. And we can go further and declare that there is only one data
type, the simple integer; you have an infinite number of them, and all
you can do is mutate them in place. You don't need variable names
either; just have one single array that represents your whole
namespace, and work with positions in that array. And don't bother
with actual positions, even - with a single pointer, you could manage
everything.

Forget this silly mess of data types, methods, global functions, and
so on. Let's simplify things massively!

Ook. Ook!
