@frescosecco typed #lisp?
That piques my interest. Lack of types is probably one of the biggest hurdles for me to use lisp more.
I know about typed #racket , but the syntax just feels ugly to me.

@orizuru @frescosecco what about common lisp's type system?

@eruwero @frescosecco never tried common lisp.
But I thought the types were more for documentation than enforcing correctness. Is that not the case?

@orizuru @eruwero CL doesn't have static types; this is something Coalton adds, for example, and Oxur seems to have a Coalton-inspired approach.

@orizuru Not sure whether there's already a definitive types implementation. It will be interesting to follow further development, for sure!

@frescosecco their example seems to show types in the function signature.
Hope they lean on it. Rusts type system is one of my favourite features
