DESCRIPTIONTypes are often seen as a tool for checking errors, with theprogrammer writing a complete program first and using the typechecker to detect errors. And while tests are used to show presence oferrors, they can only find errors that you explicitly test for. In typedrivendevelopment, types become your tools for constructingprograms and, used appropriately, can show the absence of errors. Andyou can express precise relationships between data, your assumptionsare explicit and checkable, and you can precisely state and verifyproperties. Type-driven development lets users write extensible code,create simple specifications very early in development, and easilycreate mock implementation for testing. Type-Driven Development with Idris, written by the creator of Idris,teaches programmers how to improve the performance and accuracy ofprograms by taking advantage of a state-of-the-art type system. Thisbook teaches readers using Idris, a language designed from the verybeginning to support type-driven development. Readers learn how tomanipulate types just like any other construct (numbers, strings, lists,etc.). This book teaches how to use type-driven development to buildreal-world software, as well as how to handle side-effects, state andconcurrency, and interoperating with existing systems. By the end ofthis book, readers will be able to develop robust and verified softwarein Idris and apply type-driven development methods to programmingin other languages.
