done:
- primitives
- structures: list, product, sum, ...
can compose structures, e.g., create list of list of product of sum of ...
set and dictionary implemented as purely functional red-black tree
keys allowed: (anything with total ordering)
- primitive values
- structural values
- dynamically typed values
- types
- generic types and type unification (inferencing)
- recursive types
todo:
- dynamically typed values: have 'Any' or 'Top' type?
- to support sets of slots, need comparison of slots
=> comparison of values
=> problem: how to compare transformed values? their inputs can come from different types
(a) tedious: put in every value:
- the type
- a comparison function for that type
then first compare types, if types match, compare values.
could generalize this by writing a compare function on 'typed' values.
(b) dirty: use 'magic' function that compares any JS value
- interfaces (type classes)
