C is not a language to emulate unless you think "unsigned short" and "long double" are beautiful ways to express signedness and the number of bits.

That's a weird strawman. The long names are irrelevant here. It's not about C types overall, just stdint. Each of the languages mentioned uses intN in some form.

When people do something differently than most other popular implementation it's good to ask if that's worth it.
