Simple Dependent Types for OSTRICH

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The demand to develop more applications and in a faster way has been increasing over the years. Even non-experienced developers are jumping into the market thanks to low-code development platforms such as OutSystems. OSTRICH, a type-safe rich template language for the OutSystems platform, allows for the definition and instantiation of type-safe templates while ensuring a clear separation between compile-time and runtime computations. We formalise this two-stage language and introduce new features to the OSTRICH language, namely parametric polymorphism and a simplified form of dependent types. Such features enable instantiating the most commonly used OutSystems templates, reducing the knowledge required by the developer and easing the development process.
