Dependent types offer great versatility and power, but developing proofs with them can be tedious and requires considerable human guidance. We propose to integrate Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT)-based refinement types into the…

We present an approach to develop folds for nested data types using dependent types. We call such folds $\textit{dependently typed folds}$, they have the following properties. (1) Dependently typed folds are defined by well-founded…

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…

Harnessing the power of dependently typed languages can be difficult. Programmers must manually construct proofs to produce well-typed programs, which is not an easy task. In particular, migrating code to these languages is challenging.…

Gradual dependent types can help with the incremental adoption of dependently typed code by providing a principled semantics for imprecise types and proofs, where some parts have been omitted. Current theories of gradual dependent types,…
