> Given that this F# feature enables parallel analysis, wouldn't it make sense to do all of our development in a Lisp-like Trie structure where the types are simply part of the program itself, like in Idris2? Yeah, maybe, you for sure could, but in the context of F# as it exists, it may be hard to get from here to there. > 'm afraid I don't even understand what the difference between code, data, and types are anymore... it used to make sense, but these new languages have dissolved those boundaries in my mind, and I am not sure how to build it back up again. Yeah, good luck with that. I think maybe taking a mental step away from programing might help. It's true that human interpretation of the world often has these properties. And he generalization of the systems in no way invalidate the usefulness of the categorization system. Maybe it's helpfulnto consider the properties of your classes. To risk your further descent into madness. I recommend the Lambda days talk on the Verse programming language [1]. Which has further contemplation on the topics you are thinking about. With an eye towards practicality. [1]: https://youtu.be/OJv8rFap0Nw?si=XvUoBqO7IeCLIbrn https://youtu.be/OJv8rFap0Nw?si=XvUoBqO7IeCLIbrn
