A look at Agda
In this episode I talk a bit about the Agda proof assistant.
A look at Agda's module system
Agda's module system (beautifully described here) could be seen as intermediate between Haskell's and Standard ML's. It supports nested parametrized modules with information hiding, but does not go all the way to higher-order functors (as in Standard ML).
Language design with Leo White
Equal parts science and art, programming language design is very much an unsolved problem. This week, Ron speaks with Leo White, from Jane Street's Tools & Compilers team, about cutting-edge language features, future work happening on OCaml, and Jane Street's relationship with the broader open-source community. The conversation covers everything from the paradox of language popularity, to advanced type system features like modular implicits and dependent types. Listen in, no programming languages PhD required!
