[M3devel] missing libm3/src/types

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
if it could affect the compiler usage if in fact such usage why would one give such types inside cm3 or m3build process aside of m3core, I mean the top hierarchy must be primitive types at bottom then refs, objects, etc or reverse, and its type rules besides modules and interfaces, perhaps a good example would be to see the interfaces of Modula-2+ Vulcan system, since it had everything compiled cached and managed to survive even crashes and bridge everything to the Vesta CM system, quick large compilations, see:
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~eroberts/cv.html

An advanced system to type check may require quick timely access to large nodes since type inference is something very dependent on its size, a bigger tree a bigger problem, even if ever get to compile type inferencing (an Obliq prototype already done), but many modules around would be like dancing in hard feet over sized.
 
Thanks in advance
