Learning more uncomfortable things about Hindley Milner checking and I'm not sure I like it.
Like, usually I keep a record of the meta/unification variables I generate during type checking/elaboration, and then scan over them at the end of type checking, throwing an ambiguity error if any of them are unsolved (see https://github.com/brendanzab/language-garden/blob/e3afe8c4163487db4cea411998ccda26e

This was a thought-provoking piece on large machine learning models, and how they serve to amplify existing broken systems of incentives in the sciences: https://artificialbureaucracy.substack.com/p/context-widows

I'm keen to have a go at trying to implement some of the borrowing stuff from “From Linearity to Borrowing” https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3764117 – it seems neat and potentially doable! One day at any rate.
I implemented a linear type theory https://github.com/brendanzab/language-garden/blob/main/scraps/check_linear_lc.ml

Type theory/PL question: has there been any work on defining normalisation-by-evaluation for a bidirectionally typed language where annotations are properly preserved through evaluation and quotation? My main motivation is to reduce the am…
