In type-driven development, types are tools for constructing programs. We treat the type as the plan for a program, and use the compiler and type checker as our assistant, guiding us to a complete program that satisfies the type. The more expressive the type is that we give up front, the more confidence we can have that the resulting program will be correct. In Idris, types are first-class constructs in the language. This means types can be passed as arguments to functions, and returned from functions just like any other value, such as numbers, strings, or lists. ...

It is designed to be backward compatible with Lua 5.1, as well as incorporating some features from future Lua releases, but also expands the feature set (most notably with type annotations). Luau is largely implemented from scratch, with the language runtime being a very heavily modified version of Lua 5.1 runtime, with a completely rewritten interpreter and other performance innovations. The runtime mostly preserves Lua 5.1 API, so existing bindings should be more or less compatible with a...

...Clojure (syntax, overall look & feel), Haskell (functional programming), and Standard ML (module system). They are implemented as plain-old data-structures whose expressions get eval'ed by the compiler and integrated into the type-checker. The main difference between Lux & Standard ML is that Standard ML separates interfaces/signatures and implementations/structures.

...It has a flexible syntax and allows some things that other languages prohibit, such as using certain symbols in variable names and starting variable names with numbers. KAGSA contains several main components, including a lexer, syntax checker, parser, and compiler. It supports object-oriented programming, iteration, and other features commonly used in programming languages.

...The language introduces a concept called generational references to provide memory safety without relying on a garbage collector, and aims for “safe without a borrow checker” (i.e. reducing the burden on the programmer). Vale also pursues what they call Fearless FFI to make foreign function interface (e.g. interoperating with C libraries) safer and less error-prone. The language supports single ownership semantics (so values have a unique owner, which simplifies reasoning) while also enabling aliasing under controlled circumstances.

The MCAPL Project provides a tool for prototyping BDI agent programming languages and model checking programs written in these languages via an interface to the JavaPathfinder model checker.
