cur

A language with static dependent-types and dynamic types, type annotations and parentheses, theorem proving and meta-programming.

Noun
cur (plural curs)

1. (archaic) A mongrel.
2. (archaic) A detestable person.

Disclaimer

Cur is currently under active hackery and is not fit for use for any particular purpose. It is fraught with unreadable code, errors, and hacks that should never have been written by a reasonable human being. These may or may not be fixed shortly.

Getting started

Install cur via raco pkg install cur. Setup will likely result in a ton of errors that are safe to ignore.

Try it out. Save the following to test.rkt, then run racket test.rkt.

#lang cur
(require cur/stdlib/bool)

(if btrue
    bfalse
    btrue)

(data True : Type
  (I : True))

I

There is currently little documentation, so your best bet is to look at the source code in the stdlib for examples.
