    Actors
    data Actor : Type → Type → Type
    action : Actor interface term
    recieve : Actor i i
    spawn : (Actor i a) → IO (ActorID i)
    data ActorID : Type → Type
    pid : ActorID i
    send : ActorID i → i → IO ()

    -type lock_req () :: lock | unlock.
    -type lock_lock_resp () :: grant | wait.
    -type lock_resp () :: lock_lock_resp () | ok.
    -type lock_st () :: locked | unlocked.
    -spec handle_call(lock_req (), term(), lock_st ())
    → {ok , lock_resp (), lock_st ()} | error ().
    handle_call(lock , _, locked) → {ok , wait , locked};
    handle_call(lock , _, unlocked) → {ok , grant , locked};
    handle_call(unlock , _, locked) → {ok , ok , unlocked};
    handle_call(unlock , _, unlocked) → {ok , ok , unlocked}.

    Request Response
    data ReqResI : (r : Type)
    → (r → Type) → Type
    data ReqResId : ReqResI r f → Type
    req : {i : ReqResI r f}
    → ReqResId i
    → (m : r) → IO (f m)
    spawn : {i : ReqResI r f}
    → ((m : r) → f m)
    → IO (ReqResId i)

    Conclusion
    • We can produce verified concurrent programs in Idris
    • We can compile these programs to work with Erlang
    • We can run verified programs in Erlang
