Do you have a reference to the previous conversation?

While that may be true, I read the original email as merely referring
to the explicit annotation of types (where they are customarily
neither seen nor written) as a particular pedagogical approach for new
students, something which has much to recommend for.

Which seems miles away from what you're alluding to. Full-blown
type-level programming? Operational semantics at the type-level? I'm
not sure.
