| | [AI summary] The article explores the intersection of functional programming and logic through the lens of dependent types. It begins with foundational concepts like type constructors and inductive types, then delves into the Curry-Howard isomorphism, which links programs to mathematical proofs. The discussion covers how types represent propositions, functions as implications, and inductive types as proof strategies. Examples include defining logical relations like less than or equal to and equality, and demonstrating how to prove properties like universal quantification and mathematical identities. The article concludes with an overview of resources for further study in proof assistants like Coq and Idris, emphasizing the practical applications of dependent...

| | This is the story of how I solved a problem (ugly, cumbersome boilerplate code) that I ran into while writing a program in a functional language (Elixir). Functional programming languages often pride themselves on expressiveness and elegance; but occasionally they are not amenable to the most obvious solutions to the problems we wish to solve. In this case, the simplest solution to my problem would have been to have a global mutable variable. But no one likes those.

| | In a bid to expand my programming brain by learning something about "dependent types", I recently bought the Idris book. (Idris is a pure functional programming language that is mostly known for supporting dependent types. Not knowing what that really meant, and seeing that this recently-published book written by the author of the language was...
