Started reading this book to learn about Dependent Type Theory which is used in proof-assistant systems like Lean/Coq.

And how is it?

The author gave a talk at StrangeLoop which gives a good overview of the book:

I need something that helps me implement dependent type theory. So far, this book hasn’t covered that aspect.

I'm afraid I didn't get along well with The Little Typer. I don't know if there were issues in editing but I found it very difficult to follow the separate "voices" through the dialogue, which in the end made for a very frustrating reading experience. It's not that I dislike the dialog form (Proofs and Refutations is a favourite of mine), but it just doesn't seem to work here. It's possible that if you're familiar with and get on with the other books in the family (The Little Lisper, etc.) you might have a better time of it ... as always YMMV.
