Novel Programming Language Ideas: Refinement Types and Compile-Time Safety
2025-02-25
A blog post explores future directions for programming languages, proposing several innovative features. These include refinement-type-based function overloading and using union types and refinement types within C-like structs for memory optimization. The post also discusses compile-time memory safety and introduces the concept of an 'assume' function, allowing programmers to bypass safety checks under specific conditions for easier debugging. These ideas aim to enhance type safety and efficiency in programming languages.
