Degrees of Separation: A Flexible Type System for Safe Concurrency

Martin Odersky, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki, Yichen Xu

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 ...
