| PackageDescription | Agda is a dependently typed functional programming language: It has inductive
families, which are similar to Haskell's GADTs, but they can be indexed by
values and not just types. It also has parameterised modules, mixfix operators,
Unicode characters, and an interactive Emacs interface (the type checker can
assist in the development of your code).
Agda is also a proof assistant: It is an interactive system for writing and
checking proofs. Agda is based on intuitionistic type theory, a foundational
system for constructive mathematics developed by the Swedish logician Per
Martin-Löf. It has many similarities with other proof assistants based on
dependent types, such as Coq, Epigram and NuPRL.
This package includes both a command-line program (agda) and an Emacs mode.
If you want to use the Emacs mode you can set it up by running 'agda-mode
setup' (see the README).
Note that the Agda package does not follow the package versioning policy,
because it is not intended to be used by third-party packages. |
