Another approach would be: https://www.manning.com/books/type-driven-development-with-i...

If you are a programmer who hasn't touched any functional programming, this would probably blow your mind all over the place.

I've been curious about Idris, but apparently there was recently an amazing talk from an (the?) Idris creator talking about rewriting it from scratch with a major emphasis on relying on linear logic. He demonstrated how it does a lot of proving work for you automatically, which caused a lot of wows and applause. Anyway, I'm not sure how valuable it will be for me to learn the current version of Idris given that.
