Crazy indeed. This was like lessons learned #2 from C, which later introduced the stdint types int32_t et. al. A modern language with this type of confusing and platform dependent behavior is inexcusable. By all means, include a native data type as big as the processor can handle (size_t), but don't call it int which is the default data type most people will use out of pure laziness.
