The declaration file isn't used to typecheck the code the declaration is for. It is only for consumers of the code.
- sundarurfriend 1y agoAh that's a shame. I was hoping it would work via sidecar files like Ruby's RBS [1] or Python's stub files [2] I was editing my comment during your reply, and added this: > or maybe https://github.com/teal-language/tl#loading-teal-code-from-lua https://github.com/teal-language/tl#loading-teal-code-from-l... this is the easier way to do it. `require` and use `loader` during development, generate the Lua once things are somewhat stable. Does that sound like the right idea then?
