Abstract

A linear functional language is based on a linear λ-calculus. Any linear functional program must observe linearity and it has to be type correct. Type correctness can be ensured by means of a type-checking system. A type checker for a linear functional language is essentially a type-checker for an ordinary functional language, modified to properly handle the modality ofcourse.
