Review # 1 was written on 2019-12-29 00:00:00 Blase Ozuna Pros: a very enlightening book, makes you ask a lot of questions that don't arise while reading most other books on TT. Cons: let's put it this way: not the most accessible book I've ever read. Even Girard's "Proofs and types" seems to be more approachable (considering the level of math in both books). The material sometimes isn't clearly written either. For instance, it took me a while to realize why what the authors describe as equality on the function type is not extensional equality, and the best way to do this was to throw away the textual description and just follow the presentation of the judgements. Also there are quite some typos, some of which interfere with understanding the material, and no available errata.
