Terminating Computation First?
from Iowa Type Theory Commute · host Aaron Stump
In this episode, I discuss an intriguing idea proposed by Victor Taelin, to base a logically sound type theory on an untyped but terminating language, upon which one may then erect as exotic a type system as one wishes. By enforcing termination already for the untyped language, we no longer have to make the type system do the heavy work of enforcing termination.
