What are the theoretical problems (if any) with an idea of extending
Dialyzer with a module language to express composable interfaces in the
spirit of SML?
Something along the line of:
dict.esig:
-signature(dict) ::
sig
-type t(K, V) :: opaque().
-fun new() -> t(K, V).
-fun add(t(K, V), K, V) -> t(K, V).
-fun find(t(K, V), K) -> none | {some, V}.
...
end.
stringable.esig:
-signature(stringable) ::
sig
-type t() :: opaque().
-fun to_string(t()) -> string().
-fun of_string(string()) -> t().
...
end.
my_serializable_dict.erl:
-module(my_serializable_dict).
-implements([dict, stringable]).
...
Syntax is not the point of this, so don't get hung-up on it for the
purpose of this question - I'm making it up as I type :)
