Re speeding up MLton type checking of large programs, do you think that that
is really do-able without changing the order of source code? I.e., given mlb
files, I can see (I think) how I might structure a program so that a bunch of
files are compiled in the same environment (i.e., no one of the files results
is used in the compilation of any of the others). Given that, there is a lot
of freedom to re-order compilation so that the most recently changed files
are compiled last, or so that the context used in compiling the recently
changed files is long-lived. That way you will spot errors very quickly.
Is this what you have in mind?
