Snapshot release 2022-11-07

New features:

  • Initial type system implementation with inference.

    The design is a modified Hindley–Milner type system.
    Polymorphism is not yet implemented, and poly-lambdas like a: a
    would currently fail with the result ? -> ?.

    With the help of Attrset types, we can now support more completion
    places.

  • Type signatures are rendered in hover messages.

  • Field completions.

    Completions in both reference and definition sites are supported,
    when the type information is enough.

    let
      f = { foo }@bar: bar.|; # -> foo. Reference site.
    in f {
      f| # -> foo. Definition site.
    }

    It can also self-complete in let or Attrsets.

    {
      some.deep.setting = 42;
      some.d| # -> deep
    }

Fixes:

  • Force exit the server when the client process died. (Linux)
  • Enhance parser error recovery.
