# Idris 2
[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/idris2/badge/?version=latest)](https://idris2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
[![Build Status](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/actions/workflows/ci-idris2-and-libs.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/actions/workflows/ci-idris2-and-libs.yml?query=branch%3Amain)
[Idris 2](https://idris-lang.org/) is a purely functional programming language
with first class types.
For installation instructions, see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).
The [wiki](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/wiki) lists a number of useful
resources, in particular
+ [What's changed since Idris 1](https://idris2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/updates/updates.html)
+ [Resources for learning Idris](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/wiki/Resources),
including [official talks](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/wiki/Resources#official-talks)
that showcase its capabilities
+ [Editor support](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/wiki/Editor-Support)
## Things still missing
+ Cumulativity (currently `Type : Type`. Bear that in mind when you think
you've proved something)
+ `rewrite` doesn't yet work on dependent types
