Indeed, there is only one data type in Rev: strings.
Yes. If you squint just right. One might say 1.89 types if you allow .8 for arrays and .09 for the result of arithmetic. (And there are a few times when there is a critical distinction between a reference expression to an object and a string that refers to the object.)
I have suggested ways to integrate arrays and numbers into a pure scheme of strings, but those suggestions met with blank stares, so I think that kind of thing may not be right for Transcript, or I'm poor at explaining things, or (most likely) both.
