An Introduction to Liquid Haskell

Ricardo Peña
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid)

This paper is a tutorial introducing the underlying technology and the use of the tool Liquid Haskell, a type-checker for the functional language Haskell that can help programmers to verify non-trivial properties of their programs with a low effort.

The first sections introduce the technology of Liquid Types by explaining its principles and summarizing how its type inference algorithm manages to prove properties. The remaining sections present a selection of Haskell examples and show the kind of properties that can be proved with the system.
