@jonn don't really see the point of types alone without actual code.
The util library I'm making for our new framework (of course I'm making a new framework) is based around type inference wherever possible.
And type inference for pipe() took several attempts and like a week of work in total. And still needs kludges for overloaded functions. And isn't properly variadic either.
@virtulis I'm currently using a language that doesn't have inference to unique type.
everything that's
LessThan<5>
is also
LessThan<6>
in general, once I started using dependent types, it's genuinely hard for me to understand "code vs types" dichotomy.
Dependent parsing for instance is really cool! It allows to make a record Num<x : String> which carries some number n and something of type "parse(x) = n".
When I look at projects like hotscript, I kinda hope that I'll be able →
@jonn I wondered how the author does number comparison in TS and yeah that certainly is quite creative 😅 https://github.com/gvergnaud/hotscript/blob/main/src/internals/numbers/impl/compare.ts
My types are much more boring for sure. But now I feel a bit less bad about my pipe() signature.
