Syntax

< read:Int
< err:Error
Interface sections contain a list of behaviors. Behaviors are a name followed by an indented block of inputs and outputs. It is essentially a more stripped down version of function syntax.
Semantics
Interfaces in ARF are like interfaces in Go, that is to say, their methods are defined and any object that has at least those methods can fulfill that interface.
Interfaces are able to inherit other interfaces using type notation. If an interface inherits nothing, it must inherit Face
, which is a blank interface.
