I think they do, and as you mentioned you can explicitly remove such a restriction. Sets and types are once again two different kinds of objects in mathematical theory, and a set-theoretic type doesn’t seem to be based either on set theory or type theory.

Sets and types are foundational mathematical concepts so I’m looking for how elixir’s types fit in that context. Union and intersection are not something that belongs only to sets.

Unions, intersections and negations are available in types as well and are by no means exclusive to sets. The distinguishing feature of a set vs type is that a value belongs to just one type while it can belong to several sets.

What do set-theoretic types mean? Aren’t types an alternative approach meant to avoid the paradoxes with sets?

Is it just being used as a marketing term?

But clean room reverse engineered code can have its own license, no?
