In the Racket Slack someone asked whether the optimizations by Typed Racket can be done from standard Racket. The answer was "yes", since Typed Racket is just a library. :slight_smile: This made me curious. What kind of optimizations does Typed Racket do? And what can I do manually, when not using…

The main optimizations TR does involve turning generic operations into unsafe ones when it can prove that it's safe to do so. There's a few other small ones, like (the moral equivalent of) adding in-list and co to for loops which are missing them (which eventually results in unsafe operations as we…
