Scalar types

proc main(): void {
	Str   name   = "bee"
	Int   count  = 42
	Float weight = 3.14
	Bool  ready  = true
	Atom  state  = #Ready

	echo "{name} {count} {weight} {ready} {state}"
}

Str holds UTF-8 text. Int is a 64-bit signed integer whose overflow wraps silently. Float is a 64-bit float. Bool is true or false. Atom is an interned symbol, written #Name — a label, not a condition, so `if flag` is a compile error when flag is an Atom. void is a return type only; there is no void value, field or element. There is no implicit numeric widening anywhere: an Int never becomes a Float on its own.
