HN discussionI've mentioned this in a different comment, but I've written several articles on type inference, trying to make the topic more approachable: https://gilmi.me/blog/tags/type%20inference If you find that helpful, I've made more content on compilers (including live coding a compiler, without narration) which should be easily reachable from my website.

HN discussionI really enjoyed the article. I think one way to simplify language creation is to use an existing language with somewhat similar operational semantics as a compilation target. This simplifies the backend a lot and leaves more time to explore what the language (frontend) should look like. The backend can always be rewritten at a later time. My personal choice is usually JavaScript[1]. Regarding type checkers/type inf…
