  • Haskell is the greatest programming language of all time
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 2 Nov 2022
    Agreed. Even from a PLT perspective, I prefer Kind2 by the Kindelia Foundation for supporting inductive theorem proving (and hopefully some level of dependent types), as well as being faster to boot.
  • HVM, the parallel functional runtime, will soon run on GPUs!
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 26 Oct 2022
    I agree. Keep in mind our language (Kind-Lang) does target the HVM, and it is really promising. The type-checker is the fastest among proof assistants, by far; the error messages are really nice; it has a fully dependent type system which is a breath of fresh air to work with. It is still not production ready though (mostly due to lack of IO), but is the extend of our effort on that direction. We hope other lang developers get encouraged to target the HVM to. Elm and Idris are great candidates for that IMO.

    Another very small proof system: https://github.com/moonad/formcorejs

    The core implementation is under 700 lines of JS, including the parser: https://github.com/moonad/FormCoreJS/blob/master/FormCore.js

    The author has since moved on to building a runtime with optimal evaluation (https://github.com/kindelia/hvm) and a new proof language on top of that (https://github.com/Kindelia/Kind2) with considerably better performance than existing proof systems.

    The hype of Blockchain is an astounding thing, and the cascading hype for systems merely because they are based off people in the Blockchain space is equally as befuddling.

    Try https://github.com/AndrasKovacs/smalltt if you want a system that considers the things modern systems care about: elaboration and unification.

  • Idris 2: Quantitative Type Theory in Practice
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Jan 2022
    I'm curious if you have any insight into what a realistic lower limit to Idris compile time speed looks like. Right now even moderately sized Idris programs can be quite slow to compile, slower than even other dependently-typed languages (see e.g. https://github.com/AndrasKovacs/smalltt). How much of this is intrinsic to Idris' language design and how much of it is due to lack of optimization in the implementation?
