Localized Lama gradual typing

Abstract: Gradual typing is a modern approach for combining benefits of static typing and dynamic typing. Although scientific research aim for soundness of type systems, many of languages intentionally make their type system unsound for speeding up performance. This paper describes an implementation of a dialect for Lama programming language that supports gradual typing with explicit annotation of dangerous parts of code. The target of current implementation is to grant type safety to programs while keeping their power of untyped expressiveness. This paper covers implementation issues and properties of created type system. Finally, some perspectives on improving precision and soundness of type system are discussed.

Keywords: programming languages, gradual typing, type safety, cast calculus.
