We thank the reviewers for their very helpful feedback and will revise
the paper accordingly. In particular, we will expand on the motivation
for using CBPV.

4. Reviewer D asks to clarify lines 116-117.
Yes, we mean that the typed equivalences should hold in the statically
typed portions of the code; the dynamic type casts ensure that the
typed portions of the code; but the casts ensure that the
equivalences hold in statically typed portions of the code even if they
interact with (more) dynamically typed code. We expect that it will be
rare for gradually typed programs to be completely typed (e.g. this is

7. Reviewer A asks "(l35) eta is mostly used in one direction for optimization, it's
the other direction that fails for these cases right?"

Yes, in the eager cast semantics, the eta law for functions should be

the right should be allowed to be optimized to the left. This would make
