Great paper: The Calculated Typer

I discuss a nice paper I quite enjoyed reading, called The Calculated Typer , by Garby, Bahr, and Hutton. The authors take a very nice general look at the specification of a type checker, for a very simple expression language. They then manually derive the actual code for the type checker by effectively trying to prove that this as yet unknown code satisfies its spec. (This is what is meant by calculating the type checker.)
