I'm sure it's more than just remotely possible and is just a question of
someone getting hands dirty and writing the code! The baseline of a
whole-program compiler could make it trickier than for many other
toolsets, but it could work to periodically run "compiles" through type
inference, saving the results to hidden files.

Urweb tooling is pretty limited compared to other languages. I knew

of the "modern" tooling I see in other ecosystems is a waste of time.
However, the one thing that would really cut dev time in half for me
in Ur/web (slightly exaggerated for effect) would be being able to
have the compiler tell me the type of an expression. You can go
multiple levels deep here:
- type of an identifier
- type of an expression at top level
- type of an expression in function definition, let-binding, etc
I'm sending this email to the mailing list to ask if something like
this is remotely possible, what kind of approach we can take and how
we could go about implementing it.
Any help much appreciated
