CBPV occupies a certain ``sweet spot'' between semantic expressivity
and amenability to extensions.
\paragraph{Modal Gradual Typing}
The most similar gradually typed language to our full GTT is the
language of gradual session types given in (TODO: cite Gradual Session
Types).
%
It has several similarities: there are two sorts of types (values and
sessions) and correspondingly two dynamic types: a dynamic value type
and dynamic session type.
%
However, their formulation is quite different in that sessions are
considered to be a \emph{subset} of value types whereas in ours there
are explicit coercions between value and computation types.
%
Furthermore their language is not \emph{polarized} in the same way as
CBPV, so there is not likely an analogue between our upcasts being
always between value types and downcasts being always between
computation types in their system.
%
Instead, we could reconstruct this in a \emph{polarized} session type
language where there are two types of sessions: sending and receiving
and there would be ``universal sender'' and ``universal receiver''
session types.
\paragraph{Dynamically Typed Call-by-push-value}
Our interpretation of the dynamic types in CBPV suggests a design for
