Comment on Hazel: A live functional programming environment featuring typed holesparent

Comments

Isn’t this possible with any untyped language?

It does sound like a good feature though - very few languages have opt-out type checking. This is much better than opt-in IMO.

Hazel will also run incomplete programs around holes. Most untyped languages will just crash as soon as something is incomplete.

Laziness would be enough for this case, Haskell will happily run your programs around undefined

Yes and no. You need a universal way of saying "something that should exist here is missing"
