Idris is a purely functional programming language featuring dependent types, optional lazy evaluation, and a broad set of language and platform features, designed by Edwin Brady. Being dependently typed allows types to be predicated on values, meaning some aspects of a program's correctness can be proved at compile time. Idris is compiled and targets C via a custom, lightweight virtual machine, though other backends are supported.
