Everyone Else is Crazy: A common language for dependently-typed programming?


Beschreibung

The Haskell project was begun in order to unify "more than a dozen non-strict, purely functional programming languages". (mirror) We are rapidly approaching that many viable choices for programming with dependent types. 1. Epigram 2. ATS (successor to Dependent ML) 3. Agda (successor to Cayenne) 4. Ωmega 5. NuPrl 6. Twelf 7. Isabelle 8. Coq etc caveats * Some of the items on this list are theorem provers first and dependently-typed programming languages second. Adam Chlipala argues that this is not such a problem for Coq. * Some of these choices may not be real options for programing with dependent types. Twelf is designed for programming about programming languages, and, if I remember correctly, doesn't have parametric polymorphism because of something having to do with higher-order abstract syntax. Is it time yet to do anything about the cornucopia of options? see comments
