If you’re looking for declarations, some languages use const, let or var followed by the name of said variable. That’s a little easier to find than having a type name at the start, so I don’t think what you’re saying gives the other approach an advantage. The indentation is also more consistent with these keywords, which helps.

I realise some languages (like Python) don’t use these sorts of keywords during declaration. For those languages it could indeed be a disadvantage.

If that’s what you’re looking for, you can look for const, let or var followed by the name of said variable. The indentation is more even than with type names, and seeing the type makes it harder to find, not easier.

I realise some languages don’t use these sorts of keywords, and that can make things harder.
