Primitive & Compound Types

SP features a static, nominal type system with built-in primitive scalars and high-performance collection abstractions.

Type	Size & Representation	Example
int	64-bit signed integer (i64)	let x: int = 100;
double	64-bit IEEE-754 float (f64)	let d: double = 3.14;
bool	1-bit boolean (i1)	let flag: bool = true;
string	UTF-8 heap slice pointer	let s: string = "SP";
void	Unit type representing no value	fn exit() -> void
