smalltt VS FormCoreJS

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.

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?

Unfortunately, the source code size isn't the main problem with provers. The UX is much more important one.

Kind is a functional, general-purpose programming language featuring theorems and proofs. It has the smallest core, a pretty solid JavaScript and Scheme compiler (seriously, check how clean is the generated kind.js), and a syntax that is a middle ground between Haskell and TypeScript, in an attempt to make it more accessible.

Hello! Kind is a functional programming language based on self types that has the smallest core, pretty solid JavaScript and Scheme compilers (seriously, check how clean is the generated kind.js is), and a syntax that is a middle ground between Haskell and TypeScript, in an attempt to make it more accessible. In short, it is a general-purpose, practical functional featuring featuring theorems and proofs. Kind still has a lot to evolve, but, at this point in time, it is one of the most mature proof languages in some aspects. We do research related to optimal evaluators, we explore self types, we build web apps (most are in development, but the performance is stellar), and we're close to have great inter-op with Haskell (one file away), EVM compilers (a linearity-checker away). All in all, I believe Kind is a great addition to the functional programming community. We are a small, mostly self-funded team.
