CakeML
CakeML is a functional programming language with a proven-correct compiler.
Aim
Reducing the cost and increasing the guarantees of verified software.
Approach
- Verified compilation: we have developed the world-leading verified optimising compiler (and runtime system) for functional programming.
- Proof-producing code generation: we have developed methods for automatically producing (verified) CakeML implementations of algorithms defined and verified in higher-order logic.
