Interestingly, I find ident: Type significantly more difficult to read. Having the type information helps me contextualize what I'm about to read -- it narrows the mental search space I need to explore when parsing the name. For example, knowing something is a float, double, int, or string can make an ident named "releaseTime" mean different things. I also find that whitespace is more consistent when using Type ident, you get rivers where the spaces all line up, so all the type declarations AND ident declarations align. Whereas with ident: Type, I find it much more difficult because of the variable length of identifiers. (Yes, one could fix this by using tabs, but if idents vary in length by more than one tab stop, it becomes difficult to read horizontally.)
