A Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

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 ...

Function Passing: A Model for Typed, Distributed Functional Programming

Philipp Haller, Heather Christine Klug, Jocelyn Boullier

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 ...

Optimizing Data Structures in High-Level Programs New Directions for Extensible Compilers based on Staging

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Vojin Jovanovic, Manohar Jonnalagedda

High level data structures are a cornerstone of modern programming and at the same time stand in the way of compiler optimizations. In order to reason about user or library-defined data structures, compilers need to be extensible. Common mechanisms to exte ...

JavaScript as an Embedded DSL

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin

Developing rich web applications requires mastering different environments on the client and server sides. While there is considerable choice on the server-side, the client-side is tied to JavaScript, which poses substantial software engineering challenges ...
