I find it remarkable that pretty much all commonly used programming languages gets this simple type wrong. In traditional programming languages, basic types are defined by the compiler, which complicates cross-language interoperability. On page 56 at the top of the page he has the reduction: ( λx . The Haskell project was begun in order to unify "more than a dozen non-strict, purely functional programming languages". Programming languages and type systems are two fascinating subjects inside computer science, and there are plenty of sites devoted to them. Question from Pierce's Types and Programming Languages. A while back he asked me to write about various different programming languages and their differences. (mirror) We are rapidly approaching that many viable choices for programming with dependent types. We are recruiting for research associate positions in design and implementation of programming languages, and also may have PhD studentships available this year and next. In the .NET Framework, basic types are defined by the . Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages. X ) )( u r ) evaluates to u r ( λx . How can one expect a type system to be useful if it can't even infer the correct type of the most basic expressions? So I am currently studying the language of "serious" language researchers in order to write a paper about Cat, and the book "Types and Programming Languages" by Benjamin Pierce has turned out to be a huge boon!
