Foundations of Path-Dependent Types

A scalable programming language is one in which the same concepts can describe small as well as large parts. Towards this goal, Scala unifies concepts from object and module systems. An essential ingredient of this unification is the concept of objects wit ...

What are the Odds? Probabilistic programming in Scala

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Sandro Stucki, Manohar Jonnalagedda

Probabilistic programming is a powerful high-level paradigm for probabilistic modeling and inference. We present Odds, a small domain-specific language (DSL) for probabilistic programming, embedded in Scala. Odds provides first-class support for random var ...

Scala-Virtualized: Linguistic Reuse for Deep Embeddings

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Philipp Haller, Nada Amin

Scala-Virtualized extends the Scala language to better support hosting embedded DSLs. Scala is an expressive language that provides a flexible syntax, type-level computation using implicits, and other features that facilitate the development of em- bedded ...

Optimizing Data Structures in High-Level Programs New Directions for Extensible Compilers based on Staging

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Vojin Jovanovic, Manohar Jonnalagedda

High level data structures are a cornerstone of modern programming and at the same time stand in the way of compiler optimizations. In order to reason about user or library-defined data structures, compilers need to be extensible. Common mechanisms to exte ...

A Flow-Insensitive, Modular Effect System for Purity

Martin Odersky, Nada Amin, Lukas Rytz

This article presents a modular, flow-insensitive type-and- effect system for purity with lightweight annotations. It does not enforce a global programming discipline and allows ar- bitrary effects to occur in impure parts of the program. The system is des ...

JavaScript as an Embedded DSL

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Grzegorz Kossakowski

Developing rich web applications requires mastering different environments on the client and server sides. While there is considerable choice on the server-side, the client-side is tied to JavaScript, which poses substantial software engineering challenges ...

Dependent Object Types

Martin Odersky, Nada Amin

We propose a new type-theoretic foundation of Scala and languages like it: the Dependent Object Types (DOT) calculus. DOT models Scala’s path-dependent types, abstract type members and its mixture of nominal and structural typing through the use of reﬁneme ...
