If you’re interested in contributing to Idris, there are several jobs and mini-projects which would help. For example:

  • Adding libraries and functions to the base package.
  • A :search function for the REPL, to find functions by name or by type (similar to Hoogle)
  • Improving the termination and productivity checkers. The current version works in principle, but has a number of issues which need addressing.
  • Expanding the tutorial with detailed examples and exercises (or even writing a new one)
  • Investigating and fixing the reports on the issue tracker
  • Refactoring the parser.
  • A Haddock like tool for documenting APIs
  • Low level bindings for various C APIs, including, but not limited to:
  • Network sockets
  • libgcrypt/libsodiu,
  • libSDL
  • High level, more dependently typed bindings for the above.
  • Polishing the packaging system
  • Proof automation, for example:
  • A Presburger arithmetic solver.
  • Commutative ring rewriting.
  • Packaging for Mac, for ease of installation (ideally not requiring a Haskell platform installed)
  • Packaging for Windows
