Session details: Analysis of Haskell and Haskell for analysis

The Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) is a well supported optimizing compiler for the Haskell programming language, along with its own extensions to the language and libraries. Haskell's lazy semantics imposes a runtime model which is in general difficult ...

"Static metaprogramming" is compile-time code analysis and synthesis. It has many applications, such as (from simple to complex): defining abbreviations, generating boilerplate from type definitions, extending the language syntax, and embedding DSLs.

Metaprogramming consists of writing programs that generate or manipulate other programs. Template Haskell is a recent extension of Haskell, currently implemented in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, giving support to metaprogramming at compile time. Our aim ...
