Stacked Borrows: An Aliasing Model for Rust
Type systems are useful not just for the safety guarantees they provide, but also for helping compilers generate more efficient code by simplifying important program analyses. In Rust, the type system imposes a strict discipline on pointer aliasing, and it is an express goal of the Rust compiler developers to make use…

Parse, don’t type-check
There’s a fantastic article from last year titled Parse, don’t validate. I’d highly recommend it to any programmer (along with the more recent follow up Names are not type safety). The basic idea i…

Hindley-Milner Type Inference (2012)
Robin Milner's type system with parametric polymorphism was a significant advance over the systems of Russell and Church. Arguably it is the ability to use type-variables that makes higher order logic a practical vehicle for proving non-trivial theorems. The Hindley-Milner algorithm is used to automatically infer…

Three Months of Go from a Haskeller’s perspective (2016)
This summer I’ve been interning at Pusher , and have been writing a lot of Go. It’s been a bit of a change coming from a Haskell background, so I decided to write up my thoughts now, at the end.

Which Parsing Approach?
We all know that parsing is an important part of designing and implementing programming languages, but it’s the equivalent of Brussels sprouts: good for the diet, but a taste that only a select few enjoy. Unfortunately, I’ve come to realise that our general distaste for parsing is problematic. While many of us think…

An in-depth look at OCaml’s new “best-fit” garbage collector strategy
An in-depth Look at OCaml’s new "Best-fit" Garbage Collector Strategy The Garbage Collector probably is OCaml’s greatest unsung hero. Its pragmatic approach allows us to allocate without much fear of efficiency loss. In a way, the fact that most OCaml hackers know little about it is a good sign:...

F is a pure functional concatenative language originally designed as an extension of False . F contains the list-operations of K3 and the dip combinator of Joy . Floating-point and symbolic datatypes are supported. One-time assignment is enforced in syntax. A theory of function-valence and -charge is outlined. F also…
