Dependent Object Types (DOT)

The DOT calculus proposes a new type-theoretic foundation for languages like Scala. The latest rules (PDF) are for a small-step storeless variant with full subtyping lattice, recursive types including their subtyping, and dependent method types. Here is the corresponding mechanized soundness proof.

From F to DOT in Small-Step:

• F_<:
• F_<:>
• D_<:
• D_<:>
• D_<>
• DOT
