Key Points

To investigate the utility and effectiveness of set-theoretic type checking when applied retrospectively to code written by beginner Erlang programmers.
Retrospective analysis of historical Erlang code corpora produced by beginner programmers.
Application of set-theoretic type-checking algorithms to detect semantic, type, and runtime discrepancies across student repositories.
Identifies common bug patterns and failure modes characteristic of novice Erlang programs.
Demonstrates qualitative improvements in error localization and type precision using set-theoretic static analysis over standard tools.

Retrospective study evaluates set-theoretic type checking in beginner Erlang programs, suggesting improved early error detection for novices.
