[erlang-questions] dialyzer for lisps (Re: If you are homesick for object.selector)

[Robert Virding]

Making read it read source files from other front-ends which generate core erlang would not be too difficult. The main problem is that it is hard-coded that dialyzer assumes that source files end with .erl.

I thought a bit about generating Erlang instead of Code for LFE but came to the conclusion that the resulting Erlang would not be very transparent anyway.
