Cicada Language

[ HOMEPAGE | MANUAL | ABOUT ]

Welcome *^-^*/

Cicada language is a dependently typed programming language and an interactive theorem prover.

The aim of cicada project is to help people understand that developing software and developing mathematics are increasingly the same kind of activity, and people who practice these developments can learn from each other, and help each other in very good ways.
