About:
Idris 2 is a general-purpose pure functional programming language with dependent types. It features a type-driven development approach where types guide program construction, enabling powerful compile-time verification. The language compiles to efficient backend code and is particularly suited for building verified software systems.
Key Features:
  • Dependent type system for compile-time verification
  • Type-driven development workflow
  • Multiple compilation backends (Chez, Racket, RefC)
  • Linear types for resource management
  • Interactive development with REPL
Use Cases:
  • Building verified software systems
  • Type-safe API development
  • Systems programming with correctness guarantees
  • Educational tool for learning advanced type theory
Alternatives:
  • agda – Similar dependent type features but Agda has a different syntax and focuses more on proof assistant capabilities
  • coq – Coq is primarily a proof assistant while Idris targets general-purpose programming with verification
  • lean – Lean emphasizes mathematical theorem proving but shares dependent type concepts with Idris
