Bootstrap value model¶
| Type | Runtime value | Current representation |
|---|---|---|
Int |
Integer | Rust i64; checked addition |
Float |
Finite double-precision number | Rust f64; non-finite results are overflow |
Bool |
true or false |
Rust bool |
The AST contains literal and addition nodes with zero-based, half-open UTF-8
byte ranges. Public diagnostics distinguish syntax, type, and evaluation
(overflow) failures. Types and values are distinct enums. There are no implicit
conversions: neither Boolean-to-integer, nor integer-to-float widening, so
addition takes two Int or two Float operands and returns that same type.
Signed 64-bit integers and binary double-precision floats are bootstrap implementation choices, not a permanent numeric design. Decimal semantics, rounding, and a unified numeric tower remain open. The eventual typed Card/document model is described as a boundary in architecture, not declared as a working value type here.
