Re-use index.scheme.org SRFI types?

[aartaka]

Hi! Learned of this project just now, super neat! I see that procedure types are hard-coded in the main .el file, and that it will take some effort to document all SRFIs and implementations to date.

Thus the suggestion: maybe use data from index.scheme.org? It has all the types of most used SRFIs pinned down in its metadata files, so you can just take these and read them directly to get that info. I already did that on Chibi in https://codeberg.org/aartaka/scheme-index/src/branch/pages/build.scm and the original repo has CHICKEN scripts for parsing, so there’s enough know-how for how to treat this data.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea! I don't have time to spend on the parsing, but if there were a static type db somewhere we could download it would be easy to use that, e.g. at srfi.schemers.org/srfi-1/types.scm or some AWS bucket.
