    @BrandonBloom @alexnixon_uk @lexi_lambda @brendanzab @puffnfresh @typedrat which is to say: type checkers reject some subset of correct programs because they cannot prove them correct at compile time. this is a restriction coming from dynamic types, in the same way that dynamic languages appear restricted to a single type from the other direction.

      @BrandonBloom @alexnixon_uk @lexi_lambda @brendanzab @puffnfresh @typedrat questions like "why limit yourself to one type?" don't interrogate other points of view and are about as useful/interesting as looking at a motorcycle and saying "wow that car is missing half its wheels"
