Interesting idea:

@tomasino and @rysiek on Contract Based Dependency Management

https://labs.tomasino.org/contract-based-dependency-management/

https://rys.io/en/156.html

Quoting Rysiekúr for a definition:

"The basic idea boils down to this: when deciding if a given version of a given dependency is compatible with a dependent piece of software, instead of relying on version numbers – rely on tests that actually verify the functionality and behaviour that piece of software actually depends on"

some languages may also automatically infer safe dep upgrades if no changes were made that could affect test results

for strongly normalising languages, hashed normal form of expressions seems like a natural method. Even non-strongly normalising languages could hash reduced expressions a la #-lang
