Abstract

In this paper, we describe a compiler back end and library for web client application development in Agda, a dependently typed functional programming language. The compiler back end targets ECMAScript (also known as JavaScript), and so is executable in a browser. The library is an implementation of Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) using a constructive variant of Linear-time Temporal Logic (LTL) as its type system.
