Set Theoretic Type System topic

Where is the best place to follow developments for the Set Theoretic Type System?

There does not seem to be an existing category or single topic here. Tags for the subject are also a little fragmented.

I see some articles on the elixir-lang.org blog. Perhaps there’s a Discord or something else entirely.

If it was a new category, it could contain links to relevant papers, specs, talks, resources, questions, edge cases, bugs, performance and future directions,

Perhaps the project could benefit from more unique branding that would make it easier to search and tag.
Of course, the abbreviation Elixir Type System (ETS) is already taken :slight_smile: and STTS is awkward. So perhaps a name - one random suggestion might be ‘Tethys’, a Greek god and ancient ocean, which is an anagram of a subset of ‘set theory’.

Github, follow @josevalim :smile: , for example one of the big commits that enabled inference for functions: Turn type inference up to 1000 by josevalim · Pull Request #14145 · elixir-lang/elixir · GitHub

This is still a WIP that is handled by the elixir core team. I think once a checkpoint will be reached, there will be an update on the status and guidelines on how to make use of the new capabilities.
