Spad language compiler

Spad is programming language used by Fricas Computer Algebra System. It's a multiparadigm language with second order dependent types.

Compiler backend is implemented in Ocaml and uses LLVM framework. The sources are available here.

As a participant in GSoC 2014 programme I'm planning to implement an improved type checker, my progress will be monitored here.
