Type unification

Type unification by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-10-25
Type unification finds a type substitution making specified type expressions equal, or reports incompatible constraints. In our simple type grammar, matching two function types reduces to matching their argument types and their result types. Distinct base types int and bool fail to match; solving a type variable against a nontrivial type expression uses the occurs check.
