Further Reading

Further information about Idris programming, and programming with dependent types in general, can be obtained from various sources:

• The Idris web site (http://www.idris-lang.org/) and by asking questions on the mailing list.
• The IRC channel #idris, on chat.freenode.net.

• The wiki (https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris-dev/wiki/) has further

  user provided information, in particular:

  • https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris-dev/wiki/Manual
  • https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris-dev/wiki/Language-Features

• Examining the prelude and exploring the samples in the

  distribution. The Idris source can be found online at: https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris-dev.

• Existing projects on the Idris Hackers web space: http://idris-hackers.github.io.

• Various papers (e.g. [1], [2], and [3]). Although these mostly

  describe older versions of Idris.
