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 ...

Semantics-preserving inlining for metaprogramming

Martin Odersky, Sébastien Jean R Doeraene, Nicolas Alexander Stucki

Inlining is used in many different ways in programming languages: some languages use it as a compiler-directive solely for optimization, some use it as a metaprogramming feature, and others lay their design in-between. This paper presents inlining through ...

Theory and Practice of Coroutines with Snapshots

Aleksandar Prokopec, Fengyun Liu

While event-driven programming is a widespread model for asynchronous computing, its inherent control flow fragmentation makes event-driven programs notoriously difficult to understand and maintain. Coroutines are a general control flow construct that can ...

Verification by Reduction to Functional Programs

Régis William Blanc

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 ...

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 ...

Online Testing of Federated and Heterogeneous Distributed Systems

Dejan Novakovic, Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Vojin Jovanovic

DiCE is a system for online testing of federated and heterogeneous distributed systems. We have built a prototype of DiCE and integrated it with a BGP router. DiCE quickly detects three important classes of faults, resulting from configuration mistakes, po ...

Theory of Transactional Memory

Michal Kapalka

Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming, in which threads of an application communicate, and synchronize their actions, via inmemory transactions. Each transaction can perform any number of operations on shared data, an ...

Compiling Scala for Performance

Iulian Dragos

Scala is a new programming language bringing together object-oriented and functional programming. Its defining features are uniformity and extensibility. Scala offers great flexibility for programmers, allowing them to grow the language through libraries. ...

On Static Analysis for Expressive Pattern Matching

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Mirco Dotta

Pattern matching is a widespread programming language construct that enables definitions of values by cases, generalizing if-then-else and case statements. The cases in a pattern matching expression should be exhaustive: when the value does not match any o ...

Actors that Unify Threads and Events

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

In practice, concurrent programming systems based on message passing are often instantiations of the actor model. A popular implementation of this form of concurrency is the Erlang programming language. Erlang supports massively concurrent systems such as ...
