This post provides a comprehensive overview of the
However, the students who survive 15-312 report a "red pill" moment. They stop seeing Python as "easy" and C++ as "fast." They see them as specific instantiations of binding, scope, evaluation order, and type constraints. They stop seeing Python as "easy" and C++ as "fast
What is a language, and how can we prove it behaves as intended? The Core Philosophy: Type Theory and Logic The course is built on the rigorous framework of Type Theory
