| | [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...

| | Previously: Modeling Identity Types. On first viewing, the identity type seems odd. Does it make sense to replace the traditional yes/no equality predicate with an elaborate type of equality proofs? In fact the father or modern type theory Martin Löf had his doubts, and initially tried to reflect all identity proofs into more basic judgmental...

| I saw another article on Gödel's incompleteness theorems linked from Reddit today. It's a topic I've wanted to write about for some time. Although many articles do a decent job in giving an idea of what the big deal is (and this one is pretty good), they can sometimes give a misleading impression of what...
