"My research interest lies in developing a theoretical and practical foundation for building and reasoning about reliable safe software systems. To achieve this goal, I combine theoretical research on the logical foundations of computer science in programming languages and verification with system building. The topics I am interested in include logics (classical and non-classical), type theory, theorem proving, logic and functional programming, and logical frameworks."

WHAT A CRAZY LANGUAGE FEATURE

This is the coolest shit that's going to be blogged all month, and it's only the 17th.

On type systems. Some history, some practice.

"a programming language designed to introduce richer type system features into functional programming in the tradition of ML and Haskell. Ur is functional, pure, statically-typed, and strict. Ur supports a powerful kind of metaprogramming based on row types."

"Now that's a lot of domain constraints implemented only through the power of the type system." It sure is!

Neat trick, but definitely pushing the boundaries of clarity and maintainability.

A practical exampe of why implicts are useful, plus predictably great comments by Daniel Spiewak.

Basically, because there are complicated use cases for Actors.
