## Introduction

Introducing *UNV* - a computer language based upon ideas from the univalent

foundations of mathematics project: [http://homotopytypetheory.org]

(http://homotopytypetheory.org)

## Motivation

The motivation for this project is as tool to study and understand *homotopy

type theory* from a computer science perspective.  The language is meant to

serve as a testing ground for working out the implications of homotopy type

theory.

## Design

TODO

## Implementation

One of the goals is to introduce dependently typed constructs to the c-like

language family of general purpose and systems programming.  The compiler

frontend uses the *QtCore module* of the [Qt C++ toolkit](http://qt-project.org/)

in order to quickly create a hand-written lexer/parser that will be easily

to manipulate as the language takes shape.  The backend of the compiler will

use the [LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine)](http://llvm.org/) compiler

infrastructure and associated tooling to produce native binaries for systems

programming.
