As titled. 🚀

Looks very promising @JoshMock ! Very good work.

I will try to write some rules next week.

It's probably worth experimenting with that foundation a bit in order to identify recurring patterns for whose it might be worth providing high level helper functions / abstractions for as part of the spec validator "SDK".

I agree, and would be happy to add that, but I think it would require some discussion to make sure I (or whoever implements it) am correctly targeting the correct problems. It's probably a lot easier to for someone on the static language side to list those problems, because many of them we don't run into as often on the dynamic side. 😄

@flobernd Would it be worth merging this as-is so we can iterate on it, or do you think more SDK tooling is a hard requirement?

@JoshMock Oh let's absolutely merge this first, before we work on the follow up tasks 🙂 That comment was not meant to get addressed immediately.

I just approved!
