When Subtyping Constraints Liberate A Novel Type Inference Approach for First-Class Polymorphism

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Type inference in the presence of first-class or "impredicative" second-order polymorphism a la System F has been an active research area for several decades, with original works dating back to the end of the 80s. Yet, until now many basic problems remain ...

Semantic Shape Editing with Parametric Implicit Templates

Uday Kusupati

We propose a semantic shape editing method to edit 3D triangle meshes using parametric implicit surface templates, benefiting from the many advantages offered by analytical implicit representations, such as infinite resolution and boolean or blending opera ...

Abstractions for Type-Level Programming

Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

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 du ...

Alpha-NML Universal Predictors

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Marco Bondaschi

Inspired by Sibson’s alpha-mutual information, we introduce a new parametric class of universal predictors. This class interpolates two well-known predictors, the mixture estimator, that includes the Laplace and the Krichevsky-Trofimov predictors, and the ...

The effects of the tip clearance on the performance of small-scale turbopumps for ORC applications; analysis and modeling

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Sajjad Zakeralhoseini

In this paper, the influence of tip clearance on the performance of small-scale turbopumps is studied numerically on extensive parameter ranges suitable for organic Rankine cycle applications. A novel and fully parameterized design model is developed and u ...

Cross-Platform Language Design in Scala.js (Keynote)

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Have you ever wondered what is the secret sauce of Scala.js? What defines Scala.js, above all else, is the overarching will to make it cross-platform. A cross-platform language is both portable-most source code cross-compiles and behaves the same way on mu ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

Simplicitly: Foundations and Applications of Implicit Function Types

Martin Odersky, Heather Christine Klug, Sandro Stucki, Fengyun Liu, Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Understanding a program entails understanding its context; dependencies, configurations and even implementations are all forms of contexts. Modern programming languages and theorem provers offer an array of constructs to define contexts, implicitly. Scala ...

Quoted Staged Rewriting: A Practical Approach to Library-Defined Optimizations

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Staging has proved a successful technique for programmatically removing code abstractions, thereby allowing for faster program execution while retaining a high-level interface for the programmer. Unfortunately, techniques based on staging suffer from a num ...

Unification of Compile-Time and Runtime Metaprogramming in Scala

Eugene Burmako

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 ...

LMS-Verify: Abstraction without Regret for Verified Systems Programming’

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin

Performance critical software is almost always developed in C, as programmers do not trust high-level languages to deliver the same reliable performance. This is bad because low-level code in unsafe languages attracts security vulnerabilities and because d ...

Java and Scala's Type Systems are Unsound The Existential Crisis of Null Pointers

Nada Amin

We present short programs that demonstrate the unsoundness of Java and Scala's current type systems. In particular, these programs provide parametrically polymorphic functions that can turn any type into any type without (down) casting. Fortunately, parame ...

Implementing Higher-Kinded Types in Dotty

Martin Odersky, Dmytro Petrashko, Guillaume André Fradji Martres

dotty is a new, experimental Scala compiler based on DOT, the calculus of Dependent Object Types. Higher-kinded types are a natural extension of first-order lambda calculus, and have been a core construct of Haskell and Scala. As long as such types are jus ...

Dependent Object Types

Nada Amin

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. In particular, objects can contain type members, which can be selected as ...

Reliable and Real-Time Distributed Abstractions

The celebrated distributed computing approach for building systems and services using multiple machines continues to expand to new domains. Computation devices nowadays have additional sensing and communication capabilities, while becoming, at the same tim ...

Decrypting Local Type Inference

Hubert Plociniczak

Statically typed languages verify programs at compile-time. As a result many programming mistakes are detected at an early stage of development. A programmer does not have to specify types for every single term manually, however. Many programming languages ...

Late Data Layout: Unifying Data Representation Transformations

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako, Vlad Ureche

Values need to be represented differently when interacting with certain language features. For example, an integer has to take an object-based representation when interacting with erased generics, although, for performance reasons, the stack-based value re ...

Effect of Magnesium and Zinc Ions on the Hydration Kinetics of C3S

Karen Scrivener, Marco Cantoni, Qiao Wang, Amélie Bazzoni

Impure tricalcium silicate (C3S) in portland cement may contain various foreign ions. These ions can stabilize different polymorphs of C3S at room temperature and may affect its reactivity. In this paper, the effects of magnesium and zinc on the polymorph ...
