Type Theory Forall

Vlad works at Serokell to develop the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, he is a former member of the Haskell Steering Committee and the current implementer of Dependent Haskell. In this conversation we talk about the development process of the GHC, he explains with detail how’s the decision process of the community to modify the language through the Haskell Steering Committee. And we get pretty technical discussing the GHC internals, he basically gives us a class of how things looks like and how can a newcomer start hacking the GHC today. And of course, we go into details of the theory and implementation of Dependent Haskell!

Wouter Swierstra is a Math Bachelor’s from the University of Utrecht, has done his PhD with Thorsten Altenkirch at the University of Nottingham, did a post-doc at Chalmers, has experience in the industry working on facilitating the design of embedded system using FP and currently is a Professor at the University of Utrecht and co-host of the Haskell Interlude Podcast. In this episode we talk about his trajectory into formal methods and functional programming. We talk about Datatypes a la Carte, the Expression Problem, Functional Pearls, Program Synthesis vs Program Calculation, and much more! 0:00 – Intro & Welcome 0:02:08 – Announcing the Type Theory Forall Merch Store! 1:12 – Early Influences: From Lenses to Logic 4:40 – Discovering Functional Programming in Utrecht 8:15 – On Monads, Papers, and Learning by Teaching 12:20 – What Makes a Paper ‘Beautiful’? 17:50 – PhD in Nottingham: Theory Meets Community 22:00 – Writing ‘Certified Programming with Dependent Types’ 29:10 – Teaching Dependent Types: Challenges and Joys 34:00 – On Agda vs Coq: Philosophies and Use Cases 38:40 – Type-Driven Development in Practice 45:05 – The Power of Elegant Proofs 52:00 – Advice to Aspiring Researchers in Type Theory 1:03:00 – Beating C with Functional Programming 1:20:00 – Formal Verification and Loop Invariants 1:33:28 – Program Calculation vs Program Synthesis 1:39:00 – Formalizing Blockchain 2:01:38 – Final Thoughts Links Wouter Website Haskell Interlude Advanced FP Summer School ttforall twitch ttforall store Discount code for 10% off: typetheory

In this episode we continue with our conversation with David MacQueen, he is an Emeritus Professor from the University of Chicago, and has worked at Bell Labs for 20 years. Bell Labs began as the research and development section of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, aka AT&T, which originally hold exclusive hold of the telephone patent. Once that expired in the 1800s they needed to develop new technology to prove that it was still the best company, and hence Bell Labs was born. Over the course of the years this fascinating institution has registered more than 26 thousand patents, among of which we have the transistor, the laser, the solar cell and communication satellites. Over the course of the last 88 years they were awarded a jaw dropping amount of 10 Nobel prizes and 5 Turing awards. In this interview David MacQueen shares with us how was it like to work in such an incredible institution during it’s golden age. He shares insights about the technology, the space, the people, the management style, and much more! Links David's Website David's Github

In this episode Pierre-Marie Pédrot, one of the main Coq/Rocq developers joins us to talk about Krivine, Kleene and Gödel Realizability Models, how it relates to the BHK interpretation and CPS Translations, and how it was all already part of Gödel's work in Dialectica!

In this episode we talk with Fabrizio Montesi, a Full Professor at the University of South Denmark. He is one of the creators of the Jolie Programming Language, President of the Microservices Community and Author of the book 'Introduction to Choreographies'. In today’s episode we talk about the formal side of Distributed Sytems, session types, the calculi that model distributed systems, their type systems, their Curry-Howard correspondences, and all the main ideas around these concepts.

In this episode we go into a deep dive into the formal methods side of Voting systems, and for this nobody better than our guest: Joe Kiniry, A Principal Scientist at Galois, Principled CEO and Chief Scientist of Free & Fair, a Galois spin-out focused on high-assurance elections technologies and services. For the past 20 years Joe has worked tirelessly in designing, developing, supporting and auditing all kinds of voting systems for different private parties and government parties.

In this episode we talk with David Christiansen, he wrote the books Functional Programming in Lean and the Little Typer. He has also worked as the Executive Director of the Haskell Foundation, at Galois and did his PhD developing a bunch of cool stuff for Idris. David is a super upbeat person and I feel that we could spend hundreds of hours talking about Functional Programming Writing and Dependent Types, and we still wouldn’t run out of topics!
