Let's consider the ways of automation of the spec validation
TypeID now has a lot of implementations in different programming languages. Therefore, there should be a way of tracking their validation statuses (against spec). I am wondering about a badge, that can show in the README a validation status (failed, succeed) of the particular library. Nevertheless, there should be better solutions.
If every implementation had a CLI, a universal test could be done. I personally would like a test like that. I wouldn't miss any changes in the specification.
Also we can implement an GitHub action. However, it's hard to imagine the way of running tests upon the diversity of languages and testing tools
I actually created a workflow that does this! https://github.com/broothie/typeid-ruby/blob/main/.github/workflows/monitor_spec_updates.yml.
It runs on a nightly basis, and it basically just downloads the spec files and creates a PR if there's a diff. The next step would be to make the necessary changes to the implementation to make the specs green again, and merge the PR.
@broothie Nice work! Maybe it is worth adding the reference to this workflow in the README.
