Agda is a dependently typed functional programming language originally developed by Ulf Norell at Chalmers University of Technology with implementation described in his PhD thesis. The current version of Agda was originally known as Agda 2. The original Agda system was developed at Chalmers by Catarina Coquand in 1999. Read more on Wikipedia...

main = run (putStrLn "Hello World")

Example from Linguist:

module NatCat where

open import Relation.Binary.PropositionalEquality

-- If you can show that a relation only ever has one inhabitant
-- you get the category laws for free
