Bryce Miller (Sep 16 2022 at 01:48): Bryce Miller (Sep 16 2022 at 01:48):I'm running into an issue where Num.div sometimes crashes the compiler if passed numbers with inferred types of Num *
1 / 4 returns a float.
1 / 200 crashes the compiler.
Performing the same 1/200 operation on two numbers that have been manually annotated as Num * produces a type error.
Not sure what the intended behavior is here.

Ayaz Hafiz (Sep 16 2022 at 01:52):I don’t think this is a known issue. Definitely sounds like a serious problem, thanks for filing a report!
Bryce Miller (Sep 16 2022 at 01:54):e.g.
num1 : Num *
num1 = 1
num2 : Num *
num2 = 200
num1 / num2
produces 0.005 : Float a
(Should that be a Float *?)
Bryce Miller (Sep 16 2022 at 01:55):I'll finish up the report and update the topic with the issue #
