Unityped vs multityped

Name: Anonymous 2014-02-09 14:16

Performance Warning: Matrix values are arrays, as exported by math/array. The same performance warning applies: operations are currently 25-50 times slower in untyped Racket than in Typed Racket, due to the overhead of checking higher-order contracts. We are working on it.

Still not convinced that unityped languages suck ass?

allowing values to have types independent of the type of the expression referring to that value.
Elaborate on that one, please. It looks like nonsense. An expression doesn't "refer" to a value, but it can be a value, or it can, for instance, evaluate to a value.
can't even explain sum types without referring to the type the object of some sum type actually has
U wot mate? An object of a sum type has that sum type, obviously. Don't mistake types and run-time classification tags.

It's time to grow up and realize that some expressions are values. Using words "expresssion" and "value" as if they're exclusive is just kindergarten-level.
