Overview

A dependently typed functional programming language with applications to certified programming. It is also used as a proof assistant.

Besides Coq, Agda is one of the languages in which homotopy type theory has been implementsed (Brunerie). Agda can be compiled to Haskell, Epic or Javascript.
