# pi
A dependently typed system
# Implemented
* A Basic dependent lambda calculus
* lambda abstractions
* variables
* pi types
* type of types
* let ... in ...
* Unit type
* Empty type
* Natural numbers
* Σ Types
* Martin-Löf Identity types
# TODO
* Universes
* Elaboration
* Implicit arguments
* Universe family application

* Indexed inductives
## Things that could be fun to do sometime eventually
* Pattern matching in elaborator
* Write down the rules
* Performence optimisation?
* Compile to scheme
