We now have Chicken Scheme type declarations, thanks to the work by Jörg F. Wittenberger. Chicken Scheme type declarations are defined here: http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Types
Racket also includes type declaration language: http://docs.racket-lang.org/ts-guide/ Naturally, Racket's system is very similar but syntactically incompatible, continuing the usual Scheme hostility towards portability :-(. For such a beautiful language, ugly Scheme code is sure a common result :-(. Maybe we should use a term other than ":" and let macro systems define them into the local type system. That assumes that type systems like Chicken and Racket accept the results of macros. But *can* we use macros to generate "(: ...)" type declarations? Should we? --- David A.
