Is there a good paper or resource on Lean’s type system? It kind of blows my mind how much can be inferred / elaborated. When I was researching type systems, inference becomes undecidable quickly if you allow for “too much” polymorphism. So I’m interested in learning more about what type systems Lean’s is based off of.

That's the default reference, I think

Fantastic, I don’t know why I had a hard time googling this. Thank you!
