A simple type-theoretic language: Mini-TT
Kapitel i bok, 2009

This paper presents a formal description of a small functional language with dependent types. The language contains data types, mutual recursive/ inductive definitions and a universe of small types. The syntax, semantics and type system is specified in such a way that the implementation of a parser, interpreter and type checker is straightforward. The main difficulty is to design the conversion algorithm in such a way that it works for open expressions. The paper ends with a complete implementation in Haskell (around 400 lines of code).
