Yin-Yang: Concealing the Deep Embedding of DSLs

Martin Odersky, Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Sandro Stucki, Vojin Jovanovic, Vladimir Nikolaev

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 ...

Accelerating parser combinators with macros

Manohar Jonnalagedda, Eric Beguet

Parser combinators provide an elegant way of writing parsers: parser implementations closely follow the structure of the underlying grammar, while accommodating interleaved host language code for data processing. However, the host language features used fo ...

Scala AST Persistence

Adrien Ghosn, Eugene Burmako, Mathieu Baptiste Demarne

The Scala compiler uses ASTs (abstract syntax trees) as an intermediate representation before generating bytecode. With the development of Scala macros which expand trees at compile time, being able to access, modify and recompose ASTs within the compilati ...

Forge: Generating a High Performance DSL Implementation from a Declarative Specification

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Domain-specific languages provide a promising path to automatically compile high-level code to parallel, heterogeneous, and distributed hardware. However, in practice high performance DSLs still require considerable software expertise to develop and force ...

Hygiene for Scala

Denys Shabalin

The main contribution of this work is a formal model of hygienic name resolution and macro system that is flexible enough to provide missing safety to quasiquotes. This makes it possible to combine the best of two worlds: we get reasonable safety guarantee ...

Spiral in Scala: Towards the Systematic Construction of Generators for Performance Libraries

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Alen Stojanov

Program generators for high performance libraries are an appealing solution to the recurring problem of porting and optimizing code with every new processor generation, but only few such generators exist to date. This is due to not only the difficulty of t ...

Scala Macros: Let Our Powers Combine!

Eugene Burmako

Compile-time metaprogramming has been proven immensely useful enabling programming techniques such as language virtualization, embedding of external DSLs, self-optimization, and boilerplate generation amongst many others. In the recent production release o ...

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 ...

Quasiquotes for Scala

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako, Denys Shabalin

We introduce quasiquotes for the Scala programming language, which solve the problem of manual tree construction and deconstruction. Included case studies show that quasiquotes indeed are easier to work with than existing tools for tree construction. When ...

Scala Macros, a Technical Report

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako

Metaprogramming is a powerful technique of software development, which allows to automate program generation. Applications of metaprogramming range from improving expressiveness of a programming language via deep embedding of domain-specific languages to b ...
