TL (Type Language) serves to describe the used system of types, constructors, and existing functions.
// built-in types
int#a8509bda ? = Int;
long ? = Long;
double ? = Double;
string ? = String;
null = Null;
vector {t:Type} # [ t ] = Vector t;
coupleInt {alpha:Type} int alpha = CoupleInt<alpha>;
coupleStr {gamma:Type} string gamma = CoupleStr gamma;
/* The name of the type variable is irrelevant: "gamma" could be replaced with "alpha"
However, the combinator number will depend on the specific choice. */
intHash {alpha:Type} vector<coupleInt<alpha>> = IntHash<alpha>;
strHash {alpha:Type} (vector (coupleStr alpha)) = StrHash alpha;
intSortedHash {alpha:Type} intHash<alpha> = IntSortedHash<alpha>;
strSortedHash {alpha:Type} (strHash alpha) = StrSortedHash alpha;
// custom types
pair x:Object y:Object = Pair;
triple x:Object y:Object z:Object = Triple;
