josefs/Gradualizer

Gradualizer is a type-checking tool for Erlang that provides constraint-based type inference and gradual typing capabilities. It integrates with the Rebar3 build system and offers macros for type annotations, enabling developers to verify code correctness through automated testing and static analysis. The system includes a comprehensive test suite covering type inference, subtyping, and error handling for both valid and invalid Erlang code.

How it got here

2017–2018 · Initial project scaffolding and type inference

This period established the foundational infrastructure for the Gradualizer project, including build configuration, CI integration, and documentation. The core development focused on implementing constraint-based type inference for polymorphic calls and expanding comprehensive test coverage to validate the type checker's behavior across various language features and error conditions.

2019–2023 · Gradualizer type system expansion

This period focused on expanding the Gradualizer type checker by introducing new type annotation macros and refining type specifications for OTP core modules. The work included adding test coverage for CLI features and undefined type errors, as well as implementing property-based tests to ensure the correctness and termination of the typechecker.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 1 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 23533d7eb7 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
