About:
Agda is a dependently typed functional programming language, designed for constructing formal mathematical proofs and verified software. It allows types to depend on values, enabling powerful compile-time verification of program correctness. The language features a rich type system and supports interactive theorem proving via its Emacs-based mode.
Key Features:
  • Dependent types for expressing precise specifications
  • Interactive development environment with proof search
  • Curry-Howard correspondence (propositions as types)
  • Unicode support for mathematical notation
  • Compiles to efficient Haskell or JavaScript code
Use Cases:
  • Formal verification of software correctness
  • Interactive theorem proving and mathematical proof assistant
  • Research in programming language theory and type systems
Alternatives:
  • coq – Coq is a similar proof assistant with a different tactic system and syntax
  • lean – Lean offers a more modern syntax and faster compilation with a different standard library approach
  • idris – Idris is another dependently typed language focused on general-purpose programming with effects

Dependencies: ghc, gmp
Bottles available for: arm64_tahoe, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, sonoma, arm64_linux, x86_64_linux
Important Notes:
To use the installed Agda libraries, execute the following commands:

    mkdir -p $HOME/.config/agda
    cp $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/agda/share/agda/example-libraries $HOME/.config/agda/libraries
    cp $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/agda/share/agda/example-defaults $HOME/.config/agda/defaults

You can then inspect the copied files and customize them as needed.
If you have upgraded your Agda installation from a previous version, you may need to redo this.
