Further Reading

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

• Type-Driven Development with Idris by Edwin Brady, available from Manning.

• The Idris web site (https://www.idris-lang.org/) and by asking questions on the mailing list.

• The IRC channel #idris, on webchat.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 2 source can be found online at:

  • https://github.com/edwinb/Idris2.

• Existing projects on the Idris Hackers web space:

  • https://idris-hackers.github.io.

• Various papers (e.g. [1], [2], and [3]). Although these mostly describe older versions of Idris.
