Lieverse, Kayleigh (author)Dependently-typed languages allow one to guarantee correctness of a program by providing formal proofs. The type checkers of such languages elaborate the user-friendly high-level surface language to a small and fully explicit core language. A lot of trust is put into this elaboration process, even though it is rarely verified. One such...master thesis 2024
