Grothendieck's impact can be felt in type theory and logic. For instance, Bart Jacobs wrote aJacobs' 700+ page volume called Categorical Logic and Type Theory which gives a uniform treatment of various type theories ($X$-type theory, where $X\subseteq \{ \text{simple},$ $\text{dependent},$ $\text{polymorphic},$ $\text{higher-order}\}$) based on the categorical notion of Grothendieck fibrations (also called a cartesian fibrations). Similarly, Thethe notion of Topos, also due to Grothendieck, plays a heavy role in providing categorical semantics to logics and type theories, which is of interest to logicians and theoretical computer scientists alike.
