The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...
GADTs are a very useful language feature that allow encoding some invariants in types. GADT reasoning is currently implemented in Scala and Dotty, but it’s plagued with soundness issues. To get a better understanding of GADTs in Scala, we explore how they ...
Software engineering practices have been steadily moving towards higher-level programming languages and away from lower-level ones. High-level languages tend to greatly improve safety, productivity, and code maintainability because they handle various impl ...
In this thesis, we explore techniques for the development and verification of programs in a high-level, expressive, and safe programming language. Our programs can express problems over unbounded domains and over recursive and mutable data structures. We p ...
The most successful systems for “big data” processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate on which to build data-centric distributed systems. A key id ...
We present an approach for using formal methods in embedded systems and its evaluation on a case study. In our approach, the developers describe the system in a restricted subset of the high-level programming language Scala. We then use 1) a verification s ...
Metaprogramming is a technique that consists in writing programs that treat other programs as data. This paradigm of software development contributes to a multitude of approaches that improve programmer productivity, including code generation, program anal ...
This report shows an attempt to formalize the data representation transformation mechanism in the ``Unifying Data Representation Transformations'' paper. Since the mechanism described in the paper is targeted at the Scala programming language and the speci ...
In the previous report, we described how incremental compilation was made more complicated when macro-enabled programs are involved, and we implemented the foundations of the support for metaprograms in sbt, a build tool and incremental compiler for Scala. ...
Deeply embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) intrinsically compromise programmer experience for improved program performance. Shallow EDSLs complement them by trading program performance for good programmer experience. We present Yin-Yang, a framework ...
