Typeables is a Rust crate of type aliases, intended to help improve source code self-documenting semantic type names. This helps with literate programming, domain driven design, and developer knowledge.
For example, suppose we want to distinguish between a noun string and a verb string:
rust
use typeables::*;
let x: &Noun_str = "book";
let y: &Verb_str = "read";
The purpose of this crate is syntax sugar for better readabiliy.
The purpose of this library is not any kind type-based coding, such as data encapsulation, or parameter validation, or object oriented programming. If you want these kinds of aspects, we recommend looking at the crate uom (unit of measure) and the Rust book examples of the newtype pattern.
The type aliases are all for Rust primitives and standards such as str and String.
The type aliases are zero-overhead because they are replaced at compile time.
