If I am correct there is open PR that set DMD to use C’s primitives for literals parsing. So, for compiler itself we don’t need Mir. If you mean Phobos - one can use Mir instead.

Visitors are allowed to return different types. Cyclic referencing between different variant types are supported.

That said, I'm also a fan of your work with Mir! mir.algorithm (which I'm most familiar with) is a text book example of high-quality generic algorithm design. How does your work compare to sumtype? Would mir.algebraic offer any benefits, which would make it worth switching over? IMO, algebraic types (sum and tuple types) should be a core language feature part of druntime and should have have corresponding syntax sugar: // Same as Tuple!(T, "open", T, "high", T, "low", T, "close"): alias OhlcTuple(T) = (T open, T high, T low, T close); // Same as: // Union!(long, double, bool, typeof(null), string, // This[], This[string]; alias Json = | long | double | bool | typeof(null) | string | Json[] | Json[string]; // Syntax sugar for nullable/optional types - // T? == Nullable!T == Union!(typeof(null), T): alias ResponseParser = OhlcTuple!double? delegate(Json json); If we can work together to consolidate on a single API, I think it would be better for the language ecosystem.

Could you give a (very short) explanation on why sumtype could not meet your requirements? I am just starting a new D project and have to choose between sumtype and your solution. The work has been sponsored by Kaleidic Associates and Symmetry Investments. Much appreciated!
