I've been using "Expected Int, but got String" for my type error messages, but I've been wondering if I could do better. "Expected Int here, but this value has type String" or "This expression requires Int, but the value is String". Do you have a favourite?

Bootstrapping a language can be immensely satisfying. I've added the ability to define stub types in the Garden stdlib and suddenly I don't need to special-case Int or String! They're just normal type declarations.

Playing with optional type signatures in Python, I realise that the return type is the most important to me. I'd much rather have a function with only a return type instead of a function with only parameter types. It's often quick to add too.
