2026-04-19 20:49:13 +0000 <monochrom> (The ideal, just writing "map f xs", requires meta-inferring whether f is a type or a term in the first place, for backward compatibility. Doable but a mess, not worth it.)
2026-04-19 20:46:47 +0000 <monochrom> OK OK a hypothetical compromise is you can write "map _ _ f xs" meaning "please infer the ObTypeApplication". Then the syntax is unambiguous. It is still a bit annoying though.

2026-04-19 20:05:53 +0000 <monochrom> I think it may be too late to enable type inference in Dhall now. Too hard to add it and has backward compatibility.

2026-04-19 19:59:05 +0000 <monochrom> I am not disgusted, don't worry. In the worst case, I could always go back to sufficient old versions.

2026-04-19 19:36:53 +0000 <janus> i imagine the current LLM spin disgusts you :) but can't it just be disregarded?
2026-04-19 19:35:56 +0000 <janus> i wonder whether there ever was the follow-up post about 'standardizing bidirectional type checking for Dhall'?
2026-04-19 19:34:54 +0000 <janus> 'ready-to-fork' seems nice, and that is also the approach taken in TaPL (they keep forking their own minimal language)
2026-04-19 19:34:13 +0000 <janus> not sure how important backwards compat is for students?
2026-04-19 19:34:06 +0000 <janus> the article emphasizes how she wanted to break backwards compat
