Elixir is a functional programming language with dynamic typing. We propose a gradual type system that makes it possible to perform type-checking on a significant fragment of the language. An important feature of the type system is that it…

SMT-based verifiers have long been an effective means of ensuring safety properties of programs. While these techniques are well understood, we show that they implicitly require eager semantics; directly applying them to a lazy language is…

We propose a novel method for inferring refinement types of higher-order functional programs. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it can infer maximally preferred (i.e., Pareto optimal) refinement types with respect to a…

For those of us who generally live in the world of syntax, semantic proof techniques such as reducibility, realizability or logical relations seem somewhat magical despite -- or perhaps due to -- their seemingly unreasonable effectiveness.…

We present a type theory combining both linearity and dependency by stratifying typing rules into a level for logics and a level for programs. The distinction between logics and programs decouples their semantics, allowing the type system…
