#v3

# Added type aliases.
|
|
# Added some row variable examples.
|
|
# Added array type
|
|
|
|
# TODO Add optional types
|
|
# TODO Get rid of ambiguous syntax at end of type alias definition.
|
|
# TODO Try out arbitrary strings as field names
|
|
# This should be fine without any extra syntax, as long as we don't allow pattern-matching primitive values.
|
|
# For consistency, especially re: punning, we'd need to also allow this for normal identifiers, which would need
|
|
# new syntax.
|

# TODO Modules (files) and opaque types
|
|
# TODO More primitive types

# I realized/remembered that I don't need `def`, `and`, or commas. Because function

|
# application isn't by juxtapositon, I can look ahead by one token to know
|
|
# whether the expression is complete.
|
|
# If the language is impure, it also needs a sequencing operator. Let's use ;
|
