Interested students can apply at globalink.mitacs.ca#/student/app... . Students can express interest in multiple projects and rank them according to preference.
Eligibility:
* Undergrad from one of: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Jordan, Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, Ukraine, United Kingdom and the United States
*  1-3 semesters left in your program in Fall 2026
* Studying CS or math
I have three MITACS projects which are looking for undergraduate interns to work on:
* Flexible Pattern Matching in Dependently Typed Languages
* A Corpus of Error Messages from Dependently Typed Compilers
* Implementing Gradual Dependent Types in Idris or Lean
Summer Undergraduate Internship - reposts welcome!
Are you a senior undergrad, interested in Programming Languages? Do you want to visit Canada for a paid 12-week internship?
LLMs are great.

A tweet from BBC News (UK) reads: "Monkeys will never type Shakespeare, study finds." Below the tweet is an image of a chimpanzee dressed in a button-up shirt and wearing glasses, sitting at a modern desk and typing on a laptop, mimicking a human office worker. A caption on the image says, "'Infinite monkey theorem' challenged by Australian math..." Underneath the tweet, a community context note clarifies: "Infinite monkey theorem talks about infinite monkeys over infinite time. This study talks about finite amount of monkeys over finite amount of time."

I like how explicit How To Design Programs is about the process that takes place in my head but that I never named.
"IDK all the details right now but this function surely will access the three numbers in the input list. Put those accesses in there surrounded with ..., deal with the rest later"

The current focus is on Haskell support, but it can also do Agda & Swift. I only just started beta testing with external testers, so there are still rough edges. Interested in giving the beta a spin?

10.06.2025 14:41 β π 7 π 101 π¬ 3 π 0To show the absence of bugs you need a proof that works for all inputs. Failing the proof doesn't necessarily give you insight into WHAT input is wrong, or even if there is a wrong input at all! While a failing test guarantees you know at least one buggy input.
10.06.2025 15:31 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Right, but you're not really asking for reviewers, because it's not just review, it's *the actual hard interesting work of the project*
10.06.2025 06:35 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Right, but you are apparently either unwilling or unable to check the outcome of the experiment, while at the same time saying "This experiment was a success, as long as someone else does the work of verifying it was a success"
