Sorry, it wasn't my intention to be tricky, that's why I added "enabled by psychec" to the subject line. I hope that, once landing at the project page, it should be obvious that such functionality is provided by a tool.

This needs to be made clearer in the readme: C++ and Haskell are requirements for building the type inference engine; Python is necessary for invoking the frontend (or the binaries can be downloaded).

Exactly. Some programs are inherently ambiguous. In such cases, we cannot do much. - Example 1: `void f(){x * y;}` It's impossible to know whether that is a multiplication or pointer declaration. - Example 2: `void f(){x y = 0;}` W

Yes, a few IDEs perform some disambiguation during parse. But notice that the ability to deal with ambiguities and to come up with a proper AST is just step 0 of the pipeline. The challenging part is type inference - as far as I know there

You're right, it's not always used. Please notice my other answer above, the project is still a prototype. Eventually, we'll filter what actually goes to the generated header and we'll allow the user to specify whether h

Indeed, this can be an arguable choice. But notice the project is still in research, it's not an end-user product yet. Eventually, we'll offer options so the user can specifier whether he/she wants such a thing (or inference
