enso's Issues

Sweep: No placeholder inserted for binary method

No placeholders are inserted for binary operators like Integer.+, Integer.<, etc.

Sweep: Rename the `Decimal` type to `Float`?

Discussed in https://github.com/orgs/enso-org/discussions/6858

^{Originally posted by radeusgd May 25, 2023}
The discussion on enso-org#6817 showed that our number type names and Value_Type are misaligned:

Unfortunately with Value_Type with have a bit of inconsistency between it and the Enso types.

Value Type	Enso Type
Value_Type.Integer	Integer
Value_Type.Float	Decimal
Value_Type.Decimal	(currently not supported) BigDecimal

The names for value type were chosen to be close to the SQL type names. Maybe we should rename Enso Decimal into Float?? It is indeed a bit confusing to have this inconsistency. Also indeed, Decimal often suggests precise decimals, where we have IEEE-754 floating points.

As discussed, we decided that we want to rename the Decimal type to Float.

• Rename the Decimal type in Enso code into Float.
  • Also in error messages and docs.
• Rename any references to the Decimal type name in the Java engine code.
• Ensure that tests are still passing.
• Rename any utilities in the Java engine, like nodes - ToDecimalNode should now be ToFloatNode, the decimal packages should be renamed to float etc.
