> I think another benefit of the current type system is that the implementations of functions (and operators, etc) declare what types of arrays (physical encodings) they have specializations for and then the optimizers and analyzers ensure that the types lineup and try to minimize conversions at runtime. IMO this is quite important and we should be careful to preserve this kind of optimizations in any new design. Admittedly, we don't do a great job in removing/avoiding runtime checks in various other use cases within today's architecture, but let's not lose that capability completely -- I remember some cases where this kind of specializations yielded very significant performance improvements. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
