Type classes are one of Haskell's most popular features and extend its type system with ad-hoc polymorphism. Since their conception, there were useful features that could not be offered because of the desire to offer two correctness…

The calculus of Dependent Object Types (DOT) has enabled a more principled and robust implementation of Scala, but its support for type-level computation has proven insufficient. As a remedy, we propose $F^\omega_{..}$, a rigorous…

When writing programs involving matrices or tensors in general, it is desirable to rule out the inconsistency of tensor shapes (i.e., the generalization of matrix sizes) before actual computation. For this purpose, some languages provide…
