Key Features of Idris


Idris

Dependently typed

Safety first! Strong guarantees about the correctness of programs at compile time.

Purely functional

Inspired by lambda calculus, scopes and loops are expressed by defining and calling functions.

Type classes

Categorising types into classes provides type-safe overloading.

Multithreaded

Data being immutable allows for safer and easier-to-reason-about concurrency.

Compact

Idris supplies a small number of general-purpose features.

Innovative

Idris is an actively-developed research testbed

Get mentored the Idris way

Every language has its own way of doing things. Idris is no different. Our mentors will help you learn to think like a Idris developer and how to write idiomatic code in Idris. Once you've solved an exercise, submit it to our volunteer team, and they'll give you hints, ideas, and feedback on how to make it feel more like what you'd normally see in Idris - they'll help you discover the things you don't know that you don't know.
