Well Typed Foundations 🏛️

NB: I realize wtf is immature possibly offensive to people. At the same time I am absolutely offended by the state of the world, how people are treating our planet and all the living sentient beings on it, how we are polluting everything and destroying the future for everyone. Et-f**king-ceteral. Where is the outrage about that?

I will rename this eventually, but for now please pretend wtf really means "well typed foundations" because that is really what this is.

Thank you

Like JSON but better.

Create a file stuff.wtf:

type Q = {
   * pair: (int * bool)
   * other: string
}
term q0 : Q = {
   * pair = (123 * f)
   * other = "hello"
}
term q1 : Q = {
   * pair = (234 * t)
   * other = "goodbye"
}

In this file we defined three top level elements, a type Q and two typed terms q0, q1. Let's check the file for correctness (this actually proofs that q0 and q1 are of the shape Q).

$ wtf check stuff.wtf
Type Q ✔
term q0:Q ✔
term q1:Q ✔
