DESCRIPTION Types are often seen as a tool for checking errors,
with the programmer writing a complete program first and using the
type checker to detect errors. And while tests are used to show
presence of errors, they can only find errors that you explicitly
test for. In typedriven development, types become your tools for
constructing programs and, used appropriately, can show the absence
of errors. And you can express precise relationships between data,
your assumptions are explicit and checkable, and you can precisely
state and verify properties. Type-driven development lets users
write extensible code, create simple specifications very early in
development, and easily create mock implementation for testing.
Type-Driven Development with Idris, written by the creator of
Idris, teaches programmers how to improve the performance and
accuracy of programs by taking advantage of a state-of-the-art type
system. This book teaches readers using Idris, a language designed
from the very beginning to support type-driven development. Readers
learn how to manipulate types just like any other construct
(numbers, strings, lists, etc.). This book teaches how to use
type-driven development to build real-world software, as well as
how to handle side-effects, state and concurrency, and
interoperating with existing systems. By the end of this book,
readers will be able to develop robust and verified software in
Idris and apply type-driven development methods to programming in
other languages. KEY FEATURES * Written by the creator of Idris *
