Type system diagram - pf-lang/pipefish GitHub Wiki

Here is a diagram of the type system. It contains a few types we haven't met yet, such as func.

It does not show the nullable twin of each standard type, with the exception of any? because that would complicate the diagram to little purpose.

The error type is shown off to one side because it doesn't belong anywhere in the type hierarchy: not belonging is what it's for.
