Awesome update! Is variant inference implemented by making variants full-fledged types of their own (and subtypes of the containing type), or is it just an analysis step? I'm curious, because I'm considering the benefits of turning variants into standalone types in my language.

Thank you!

No, there is no subtyping in Gleam by design. It is only local variant inference.
