Formal Semantics and Mechanized Soundness Proof for Fast Gradually Typed JavaScript
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-31)As dynamic scripting languages are increasingly used in industry in large-scale projects, a need has arisen for more some of the convenient features of statically typed languages. This led to the development of gradual ... -
Gradual C Programming for Typed Lua
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-22)The work presented in this thesis deals with the problem of enhancing the performance of dynamically-typed programming languages by integrating features from statically-typed programming languages. Statically-typed languages ... -
No Zombie Types: Liveness-Based Justification For Monotonic Gradual Types
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-24)Gradual type systems with the monotonic dynamic semantics, such as HiggsCheck implementing SafeTypeScript, are able to achieve decent performance, making them a viable option for JavaScript programmers seeking run-time-checkable ... -
Reasoning About Foreign Function Interfaces: Blame and Nondeterministic Formal Semantics
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-31)Foreign function interfaces (FFIs) are commonly used as a way to mix programming languages. In such systems, a program written in a host language calls functions written in a guest language from within the same program. ... -
Static Types with Less Syntax: Locus Types
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-01)Optionally and gradually-typed languages allow types to be introduced to dynamic code as needed. While this approach allows some gradual movement from dynamically to statically-typed code, it requires rewriting ...
