On the overapplication of intuitionism.

It rings true to me that classical logic is philosophically underappreciated. In most of mathematics, constructivism does not, I feel, carry its weight. On the other hand computation is intrinsically tied to intuitionistic logic, so it is important to know when one needs to apply it.

An innovative proprietary (possibly patented) logic that can prove your propositions extraordinarily efficiently.

A Linux kernel security module that enables applications to limit their own privileges.

An optimizing back end and intermediate representation for compilers of functional languages that are based on graph reduction (such as Haskell, Agda, or Idris).

A compiler suite for C, Modula-2, and other languages targeting 8- and 16-bit CPUs.

In addition to many low-end processors, also targets the VideoCore IV, the VPU on the original Raspberry Pi.

A DOS object linker that makes use of DPMI to be faster than LINK.EXE and handle larger binaries.

Static verification of function pre- and post-conditions for Rust.

Not as powerful as full dependent types, but could be a good middle ground between something like ATS and down-to-earth plain Rust.
