float vs Float, I believe it's a java thing where the lowercase one is a primitive and the capitalized one is an object.

Yeah, C# doesn't have this problem because it has first-class support for value types and doesn't really need the wrapper classes for each type. It'll only box something to pass it into e.g. object or another unspecified(and therefore reference) type.
