Type dépendantEn Informatique et en Logique, un type dépendant est un type qui peut dépendre d'une valeur définie dans le langage typé. Les langages Agda et Gallina (de l'assistant de preuve Coq) sont des exemples de langages à type dépendant. Les types dépendants permettent par exemple de définir le type des listes à n éléments. Voici un exemple en Coq. Inductive Vect (A: Type): nat -> Type := | nil: Vect A 0 | cons (n: nat) (x: A) (t: Vect A n): Vect A (S n).
HaskellHaskell est un langage de programmation fonctionnel fondé sur le lambda-calcul et la logique combinatoire. Son nom vient du mathématicien et logicien Haskell Curry. Il a été créé en 1990 par un comité de chercheurs en théorie des langages intéressés par les langages fonctionnels et l'évaluation paresseuse. Le dernier standard est Haskell 2010 : c'est une version minimale et portable du langage conçue à des fins pédagogiques et pratiques, dans un souci d'interopérabilité entre les implémentations du langage et comme base de futures extensions.
Agda (programming language)Agda is a dependently typed functional programming language originally developed by Ulf Norell at Chalmers University of Technology with implementation described in his PhD thesis. The original Agda system was developed at Chalmers by Catarina Coquand in 1999. The current version, originally known as Agda 2, is a full rewrite, which should be considered a new language that shares a name and tradition. Agda is also a proof assistant based on the propositions-as-types paradigm, but unlike Coq, has no separate tactics language, and proofs are written in a functional programming style.
Idris (programming language)Idris is a purely-functional programming language with dependent types, optional lazy evaluation, and features such as a totality checker. Idris may be used as a proof assistant, but is designed to be a general-purpose programming language similar to Haskell. The Idris type system is similar to Agda's, and proofs are similar to Coq's, including tactics (theorem proving functions/procedures) via elaborator reflection. Compared to Agda and Coq, Idris prioritizes management of side effects and support for embedded domain-specific languages.
Total functional programmingTotal functional programming (also known as strong functional programming, to be contrasted with ordinary, or weak functional programming) is a programming paradigm that restricts the range of programs to those that are provably terminating. Termination is guaranteed by the following restrictions: A restricted form of recursion, which operates only upon 'reduced' forms of its arguments, such as Walther recursion, substructural recursion, or "strongly normalizing" as proven by abstract interpretation of code.
LinuxLinux ou GNU/Linux est une famille de systèmes d'exploitation open source de type Unix fondés sur le noyau Linux créé en 1991 par Linus Torvalds. De nombreuses distributions Linux ont depuis vu le jour et constituent un important vecteur de popularisation du mouvement du logiciel libre. Si, à l'origine, Linux a été développé pour les ordinateurs compatibles PC, il n'a jamais équipé qu'une très faible part des ordinateurs personnels.
Generalized algebraic data typeIn functional programming, a generalized algebraic data type (GADT, also first-class phantom type, guarded recursive datatype, or equality-qualified type) is a generalization of parametric algebraic data types. In a GADT, the product constructors (called data constructors in Haskell) can provide an explicit instantiation of the ADT as the type instantiation of their return value. This allows defining functions with a more advanced type behaviour.
Typed lambda calculusA typed lambda calculus is a typed formalism that uses the lambda-symbol () to denote anonymous function abstraction. In this context, types are usually objects of a syntactic nature that are assigned to lambda terms; the exact nature of a type depends on the calculus considered (see kinds below). From a certain point of view, typed lambda calculi can be seen as refinements of the untyped lambda calculus, but from another point of view, they can also be considered the more fundamental theory and untyped lambda calculus a special case with only one type.
Intuitionistic type theoryIntuitionistic type theory (also known as constructive type theory, or Martin-Löf type theory) is a type theory and an alternative foundation of mathematics. Intuitionistic type theory was created by Per Martin-Löf, a Swedish mathematician and philosopher, who first published it in 1972. There are multiple versions of the type theory: Martin-Löf proposed both intensional and extensional variants of the theory and early impredicative versions, shown to be inconsistent by Girard's paradox, gave way to predicative versions.
Turing-completEn informatique et en logique, un système formel est dit complet au sens de Turing ou Turing-complet (par calque de l’anglais Turing-complete) s’il possède un pouvoir expressif au moins équivalent à celui des machines de Turing. Dans un tel système, il est donc possible de programmer n'importe quelle machine de Turing. Cette notion est rendue pertinente par la thèse de Church, qui postule l’existence d’une notion naturelle de calculabilité.
