Information Aware Type Systems and Telescopic Constraint Trees
Abstract
Can we use the flow of information to understand type systems? I present two familiar type systems in pursuit of an `Information Aware' style, using information effects to reveal data flow and help in implementing them. I also calculate a general, scoped, constraint-based representation of typechecking problems from the typing rules.
