Programming in Martin-Lof's Type Theory: An Introduction (1990)

Is Martin-Lof's type theory foundational for stuff people are using today? Or is it an interesting idea that never came to fruition?
grumpymuppet•8mo ago
If you are interested in programming language theory (think language design) then, yes. In some sense, this kind of stuff is impossible to avoid.

If you're an engineer focused on shipping product, probably not. It's not TERRIBLY useful for most day to day coding tasks.

I would argue some understanding of theory is absolutely necessary if you want to make any significant tide change in CS. It's just that most people won't (myself included).

wduquette•8mo ago
Oh, I get the importance of type theory in general. I hadn’t run into Martin-Lof before.
grumpymuppet•8mo ago
Ahh, sorry, yeah. This stuff is classic. "Old" even.
deterministic•8mo ago
Martin-Lof's type theory is the foundation (or inspiration) for quite a few modern proof assistants. It is also an elegant non-set based foundation for constructive mathematics.
wduquette•8mo ago
And there it is. Thanks very much!
