+This is a tiny type-checker for data in Nix, written in Nix.
+
+Features:
+
+* Checking of primitive types (`int`, `string` etc.)
+* Checking polymorphic types (`option`, `list`, `either`)
+* Defining & checking struct/record types
+* Defining & matching enum types
+* Defining function signatures (including curried functions)
+* Types are composable! `option string`! `list (either int (option float))`!
+
+Lacking:
+
+* Any kind of inference (Nix's reflection ability is not strong enough)
+* Convenient syntax for attribute-set function signatures
