Hi,
Why actually to use language-specific keywords for common CTS datatypes -
like 'string' for 'String'?

Thx

Some of them are easier to read, like int instead of Int32.

In some cases you can only use the language-specific keywords, like in:

enum SomeValues : int {
Nine = 9,
FourtyTwo = 42
}

Here you can't use Int32 instead of int.
