In this paper we introduce “clipping,” a new method of syntactic approximation which is motivated by and works in conjunction with a sound and decidable denotational model for...
After two decades of effort, type inference for dynamically typed languages scales to programs of a few tens of thousands of lines of code, but no further. For larger programs, th...
JavaScript performance is often bound by its dynamically typed nature. Compilers do not have access to static type information, making generation of efficient, type-specialized m...
In modern software systems, programs are obtained by dynamically assembling components. This has made it necessary to subject component providers to access-control restrictions. W...

Inefficient use of memory, including leaks and bloat, remain a significant challenge for C and C++ developers. Applications with these problems become slower over time as their wo...
