Type tailoring – adding domain-specific type checkers to a typed host language
- tonyg 9y agoThis is such a cool idea. One potential application is doing something like F#'s type providers for typed access to a SQL database. You could use `trivial` to get fully typed SELECT statements integrated with Typed Racket. In fact, Ben has already done some thinking along these lines: section 3.6 of http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/types/cv/failures/icfp-2016-reject.pdf http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/types/cv/failures/icfp-2016-reje... sketches out the idea, and there is some stubbed-out code in the `trivial` git repo waiting to be dusted off.
