John Peale Bishop is pretty hilarious:

  Famously she descended, her red hair
  Unbound and bronzed by sea-reflections, caught
  Crinkled with sea-pearls. The fine slender taut
  Knees that let down her feet upon the air,

  Young breasts, slim flanks and golden quarries were
  Odder than when the young distraught
  Unknown Venetian, painting her portrait, thought
  He'd not imagined what he painted there.

  And I too commenced with that golden cloud:
  Lipped her delicious hands and had my ease
  Faring fantastically, perversely proud.

  All loveliness demands our courtesies.
  Since she was dead I praised her as I could
  Silently, among the Barberini bees.

Wow! I though nothing could be cornier than Neruda.

Right, but you can write a decoder an let Transit convert your type to an equivalent type in another language.

That's the whole point of Transit, interoperability with other languages. Having a good set of scalar types, basic composite types, and the ability to extend it with your own semantic types built recursively from the base types.

Transit lets you define your own semantic types, with handlers and decoders to map from/to your programming language types.

What exactly would one gain from using schemas, if I can send the value (state) of any of my static types to another application using Transit?

I'm a bit turned off by the syntax, but lambda calculus is always fun

great, happy to see the vim mode!

I'll have to give it a try today!
