Synopsis
Functional Programming Language with Dependent Types
Description

Idris is a general purpose language with full dependent types. It is compiled, with eager evaluation. Dependent types allow types to be predicated on values, meaning that some aspects of a program's behaviour can be specified precisely in the type. The language is closely related to Epigram and Agda. There is a tutorial at https://www.idris-lang.org/documentation. Features include:

  • Full, first class, dependent types with dependent pattern matching

  • where clauses, with rule, case expressions, pattern matching let and lambda bindings

  • Interfaces (similar to type classes), monad comprehensions

  • do notation, idiom brackets, syntactic conveniences for lists, tuples, dependent pairs

  • Totality checking

  • Coinductive types

  • Indentation significant syntax, extensible syntax

  • Cumulative universes

  • Simple foreign function interface (to C)

  • Hugs style interactive environment
