I like "type name;" order because I usually know the type I want (even 
if it's just "auto") before I know what I want to name the variable. So 
it's more natural for me to write.

I've done plenty of "name : type;" code before, and I'm fine with it, 
but I usually end up either writing the type first and then moving back 
to write the name, or come up with a name first while making sure not to 
forget what type I'd already had in mind. So a little bit more awkward 
for me.
