as.integer(1) (or rlang::int(1)) is the same as 1L but the latter is more concise and gets typed correctly at compilation.

Usage

literal_coercion_linter()

Details

The same applies to missing sentinels like NA -- typically, it is not necessary to specify the storage type of NA, but when it is, prefer using the typed version (e.g. NA_real_) instead of a coercion (like as.numeric(NA)).
