   I've done a version of this in Godot. It's kind of a hack, but it works and it's all Nodes without needing a script. You could do it more easily in a compositor effect but you have to deal more with the guts of the engine. Th

   I did no such thing. I picked a `foo` to prove a point: That the type inference engine is more than capable of inferring every type in a reasonably sized program, and the toy examples we are dealing with are below a minimum threshold. It

   I was thinking about this sentiment: And that "one single place" is for this trivial toy program. Now imagine the impedance across the delivery of a real business app. That seemed very incongruous with my experience. I thin

   I tried this, because my first thought was that this was much the same as the first example. Certainly Haskell doesn't have a variadic addition function by default but I don't think that's the biggest concern here (variadic a
