Hey, started a repo for tracking type theory history: github.com/prathyvsh/hist I am looking for some resources that would help me catalogue it close to what I’ve done here: github.com/prathyvsh/nota Would you happen to know any resources that would aid me towards this?

History subtweet: I regularly see the claim that "type theory invented type systems": that we have static typing because people tried to apply type theory to programming. This is untrue. The two concepts developed independently and were unified much later.

I found the clarification of some of the hidden rules you have in your head when reading type theories really interesting and worthwhile!
