Lifting java types using type aliases #9

Closed hexaredecimal closed 2 months ago

hexaredecimal commented 2 months ago

I am planning on adding a feature which allows the programmer to lift types from java using the type alias mechanism. This is how it should roughly work. 

type Window = "JWindow" (* This will allow us to create bindings for external libraries *)

Type aliases will work hand-in-hand with functions that use the java block as a way to case effects to the state of the application

Gui bindings are now working (sort of). Type aliases are the culprit, they were finally implemented.
