Reviews as dispiriting as I feared

Yeah really need a citation for why exponential code duplication might be a problem in practice.

Yeah I really should compare to that other translation that doesn’t preserve types and is therefore not really related.

Indexed type for WebAssembly isn’t novel. I guess. I don’t even have a joke about that one.

Will you please compare to CertiCoq? Oh sure, you see, they use ANF because I cornered Zoe and Andrew at POPL and tried to convince them that ANF was better than CPS, based on the early result of this paper you're reviewing.

Now they use ANF because I managed to convince Zoe (not Andrew though) to look into it. They've been published cause y'all love a massive Coq proof but not the fundamental research that enables it.

Just wanna say, thanks for all the effort on the ANF front, wrt. compiling dependent types. You and have me pretty curious about it and I'm thankful for your efforts, in spite of the setbacks. Really hoping to see this paper eventually!
:) You can read Paulette's thesis. We might go ahead and post an arxiv version. This submission isn't dead in the water yet.. all B's isn't the worst set of reviews I've come back from.

POPL is more competitive, but my ICFP paper got accepted with BBC that turned into ABC after Rebuttal, so there is hope
