Agda2Rust: A Study on an Alternative Backend for the Agda Compiler

Agda is a functional programming language with built-in support for dependent types. A dependent type depends on a value. This allows the developer to specify strict constraints for the types used in an application. Writing code with dependent types results in fewer type-related errors slipping through the compilation process. <br/>When...

Code extraction from Agda to HVM

Dependently typed languages such as Agda have the potential to revolutionize the way we write software because they allow the programmer to catch more bugs at compile time than classical languages. Nonetheless, dependently typed languages are hardly used in practice. One of the reasons is the lack of mature compilers for them.<br/>This paper...

Comparing Code extraction from Agda to Java to existing Methods

Dependent programming languages such as Agda show a lot of promise in creating new ways of writing code, but currently suffer from a lack of support and features. In this paper we attempt to create a new back-end for Agda targeting Java which has a huge and thriving ecosystem.<br/><br/>We implement the new back-end for Agda in Haskell and we...
