Type theory doesn't say anything about interpretation and
compilation. Are you saying there cannot be an interpreted
dependently typed language? (hint: Idris has a REPL)
Also, during compilation dependently typed languages evaluate a
lot of code (do CTFE in D terms), and some fails occur during
this process. So this is not the real difference.
