The defunctionalization translation that eliminates higher-order functions from programs forms a key part of many compilers. However, defunctionalization for dependently-typed languages has not been formally studied. We present the first…

We present a full-spectrum dependently typed core language which includes both nontermination and computational irrelevance (a.k.a. erasure), a combination which has not been studied before. The two features interact: to protect type safety…

In sequential functional languages, sized types enable termination checking of programs with complex patterns of recursion in the presence of mixed inductive-coinductive types. In this paper, we adapt sized types and their metatheory to the…

A well-known problem in the theory of dependent types is how to handle so-called nested data types. These data types are difficult to program and to reason about in total dependently typed languages such as Agda and Coq. In particular, it…

Coroutine, as a powerful programming construct, is widely used in asynchronous applications to replace thread-based programming or the callback hell. Using coroutines makes code more readable and maintainable, for its ability to transfer…

We adapt the technique of type-generic programming via descriptions pointing into a universe to the domain of typed languages with binders and variables, implementing a notion of "syntax-generic programming" in a dependently typed…

Modern Haskell supports zero-cost coercions, a mechanism where types that share the same run-time representation may be freely converted between. To make sure such conversions are safe and desirable, this feature relies on a mechanism of…

We construct an internal language for cartesian closed bicategories. Precisely, we introduce a type theory modelling the structure of a cartesian closed bicategory and show that its syntactic model satisfies an appropriate universal…

Context-free session types describe structured patterns of communication on heterogeneously-typed channels, allowing the specification of protocols unconstrained by tail recursion. The enhanced expressive power provided by non-regular…

Replication ensures data availability in fault-prone distributed systems. The celebrated CAP theorem stipulates that replicas cannot guarantee both strong consistency and availability under network partitions. A popular alternative, adopted…

Type refinements combine the compositionality of typechecking with the expressivity of program logics, offering a synergistic approach to program verification. In this paper we apply dependent type refinements to SAX, a futures-based…

A theory of data types based on category theory is presented. We organize data types under a new categorical notion of F,G-dialgebras which is an extension of the notion of adjunctions as well as that of T-algebras. T-algebras are also used…

Dependent types allow us to express precisely what a function is intended to do. Recent work on Quantitative Type Theory (QTT) extends dependent type systems with linearity, also allowing precision in expressing when a function can run.…

In the Calculus of Dependent Lambda Eliminations (CDLE), a pure Curry-style type theory, it is possible to generically {\lambda}-encode inductive datatypes which support course-of-values (CoV) induction. We present a datatype subsystem for…

Automated industrial optimization modeling requires reliable translation of natural-language requirements into solver-executable code. However, large language models often generate non-compilable models due to missing declarations, type…

Dependency pairs are a key concept at the core of modern automated termination provers for first-order term rewriting systems. In this paper, we introduce an extension of this technique for a large class of dependently-typed higher-order…

Replication is a key technique in the design of efficient and reliable distributed systems. As information grows, it becomes difficult or even impossible to store all information at every replica. A common approach to deal with this problem…

A common tool used by security professionals for reverse-engineering binaries found in the wild is the decompiler. A decompiler attempts to reverse compilation, transforming a binary to a higher-level language such as C. High-level…

Automatic static cost analysis infers information about the resources used by programs without actually running them with concrete data, and presents such information as functions of input data sizes. Most of the analysis tools for logic…

State of the art optimisation passes for dependently typed languages can help erase the redundant information typical of invariant-rich data structures and programs. These automated processes do not dramatically change the structure of the…
