| Elixir is in the process of implementing its [own type system](./gradual-set-theoretic-types.md) based on set-theoretic types. Typespecs, which are described in the following document, are a distinct notation for declaring types and specifications based on Erlang. | ||

| Typespecs will be phased out as the set-theoretic type effort moves forward. |

This discussion made me realize that today the doc for typespecs does not call out the fact this is the "old typesystem" and it doesn't represent the upcoming type system.
I can see how this might be confusing for people who haven't followed the type system discussions closely or are learning Elixir, and do not realize a) that these two are separate b) how they relate/differ
