What is the Type Builder DSL?

It is a fluent Go-based interface located in the AILANG internal types package that allows for concise, readable construction of complex function signatures.

How does this skill reduce development time?

It consolidates the registration process from four files into one and uses a Type Builder DSL to reduce type definition boilerplate by 71%, cutting total dev time by 67%.

Does AILANG support true nullary functions?

No, AILANG uses a unit-argument model where functions that take 'no' arguments must actually take a unit parameter to maintain consistent arity validation.

Can I use this for functions with side effects?

Yes, the skill supports effectful functions (e.g., IO, Net, FS) and includes a test harness to mock these capabilities hermetically.

Developer Tools

Accelerates the creation and registration of AILANG builtin functions through a streamlined M-DX1 registry workflow and automated testing tools.

About

The AILANG Builtin Developer skill is a specialized tool for language contributors and core developers designed to optimize the implementation of builtin functions. By leveraging the M-DX1 registry system, it reduces development time from 7.5 hours to 2.5 hours. The skill provides a comprehensive workflow covering single-point registration, a fluent Type Builder DSL for defining complex signatures, and a hermetic test harness for mocking effects like HTTP and File Systems. It ensures all new functions are automatically wired into the AILANG runtime while maintaining strict validation through integrated CLI health checks.
