I prefer a convention of semantically relevant variable names prefixed/suffixed by a letter indicating type.

Didn't we already collectively decide that Hungarian notation is a bad idea? About 20 years ago?

No. It's alive and particularly pragmatic in dynamic languages. The type of sigil, @ or $ or I or Array(space) are all equal to the interpreter. The difference is how offended you might be that type annotations are semantically identical.

To be clear, the above examples are used when the function is designed to accept any such argument and only relevant info is the type.
