    > Ya I don't think this is a good definition of dependent type - the prototypical example of a dependent type is a k-length vector.

    Yah that's why I qualified my statement as dependent type like setup as I don't know a good definition of dependent types which I really grok and I've only briefly dabbled in it. It'd be awesome if you could point out a good resource showing a clear example / simple proof.

    Well I started working on statically typed vector concepts [1]. The compiler can't do `proc concat[N,M: static int](v1: Vector[N], v2: Vector[M}): Vector[N+M]` and it fails. It might be able to be implemented via a macro like `proc concat(v1: Vector[N], v2: Vector[M}): typeFromSumOf(N,M)`, but I haven't tried yet.

    Also just using static ints would require specific values at some point to work I think. Whereas you'd really want "induction" of some sort. Maybe a SAT solver would be required at that point? There's DrNim [2] which does tie Z3 but it's sorta dormant.

    Ah, I didn't know what you meant by top T.

    > ya the negation is interesting - I wonder how it's implemented.

    Nim's VM runs from Nim AST, so probably running it as a VM expression.
