Seems less useful in languages with strong static type systems?



It requires a language with dependent types, like Idris.


I don't think it does require dependent types, actually. Can't it be implemented as a monad? (possibly https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Tainted)


It exists in Perl. So I figure it can be implemented in any language.


Probably! But I think monads might make it more useful and ergonomic.
