adtapp / core.typed

An optional type system for Clojure

core.typed

Optional typing in Clojure, as a library.

Releases and Dependency Information

Latest stable release is 0.3.23.

Leiningen dependency information:

[org.clojure/core.typed "0.3.23"]

...
; for very recent releases
:repositories {"sonatype-oss-public" "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/"}

; for slim jars, follow version string with: :classifier "slim"

Maven dependency information:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.clojure</groupId>
  <artifactId>core.typed</artifactId>
  <version>0.3.23</version>
  <!-- slim jar -->
  <!-- <classifier>slim</classifier> -->
</dependency>

The default jars contain AOT files for faster loading. If jar size is a concern, consider using the slim jar in production.

Compatibility

core.typed supports Clojure 1.8.0 and JDK 1.7+.

Getting started

Tldr; here is a complete project using core.typed.

With the core.typed JAR in your classpath, run the following code to enable automatic type checking. This is how to start with Leiningen.

:injections [(require 'clojure.core.typed)
             (clojure.core.typed/install)])

Next add the following ns metadata to the file you are working with.

(ns test.core
  {:lang :core.typed})

Save the file and run (require 'test.core :reload). This should type check the file automatically.

It's useful to also import clojure.core.typed to annotate expressions.

(ns test.core
  {:lang :core.typed}
  (:require [clojure.core.typed :as t]))

(t/ann f [t/Any :-> t/Int])
(defn f [x]
  (t/cast t/Int x))

Expressions evaluated via eval will also be type checked if the following is true at runtime: (= :core.typed (:lang (meta *ns*))).

Leiningen Plugin

lein-typed

Vim Plugin

vim-typedclojure

Quickstart

(clojure.core.typed/ann v t) gives var v the static type t.

(clojure.core.typed/ann-form f t) ensures form f is of the static type t.

(clojure.core.typed/check-ns) type checks the current namespace.

(clojure.core.typed/cf t) type checks the form t.

Examples

core.async Rock-paper-scissors

ClojureScript Checker

The ClojureScript checker has not followed the last year of upstream changes, so it does not work. If you would like to help update the checker, please post on the mailing list.
