We just raised $1 million dollars for our transition to City Hall. The groundwork to make this city a fairer and more affordable place is happening because of you.

is there any research into languages that treat conditional compilation as part of typechecking, rather than something that happens at latest shortly after parsing?

i.e. one where the compiler can check both unix-only and windows-only code in the same build.
