Data races have long been a notorious problem in concurrent programming. They are subtle to detect, and lead to non-deterministic behaviours. There has been a lot of interest in type systems that statically guarantee data race freedom. Significant progress ...

Type-level programming is becoming more and more popular in the realm of functional programming. However, the combination of type-level programming and subtyping remains largely unexplored in practical programming languages. This paper presents match types ...

Over the past decade, the Scala community has shown great interest in using type-level programming to obtain additional type safety.Unfortunately, the lack of support from the Scala compiler has been a barrier to the adoption of that technique, notably due ...

Scaling Language Features for Program Verification

Georg Stefan Schmid

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

A case for DOT: Theoretical Foundations for Objects with Pattern Matching and GADT-Style Reasoning

Yichen Xu, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Many programming languages in the OO tradition now support pattern matching in some form. Historical examples include Scala and Ceylon, with the more recent additions of Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, and Flow. But pattern matching on generic class hierarchies ...

The Dependent Object Type (DOT) calculus was designed to put Scala on a sound basis, but while DOT relies on structural subtyping, Scala is a fundamentally class-based language. This impedance mismatch means that a proof of DOT soundness by itself is not e ...

Optimizing Java on Truffle

Ekaterina Goltsova

Java on Truffle is an early-stage implementation of a Java Virtual Machine in Java. So far its development has focused on compatibility and functionality, not addressing performance in a systematic way. This thesis presents a series of experiments on Java ...

Catch Me If You Can Designing a Disobedient Object to Protest Against GSM Surveillance

Félicien Michel Marie Goguey

In this article, I discuss the process of designing an object to protest against a specific surveillance device: the IMSI catcher, a controversial object used to monitor GSM networks. Being widely used in protests, I develop a tactical approach based on ob ...

Just-in-time performance without warm-up

Denys Shabalin

Scala has been developed as a language that deeply integrates with the Java ecosystem. It offers seamless interoperability with existing Java libraries. Since the Scala compiler targets Java bytecode, Scala programs have access to high-performance runtimes ...
