Static and user-extensible proof checking
Despite recent successes, large-scale proof development within proof assistants remains an arcane art that is extremely timeconsuming. We argue that this can be attributed to two ...

The ins and outs of gradual type inference
Gradual typing lets programmers evolve their dynamically typed programs by gradually adding explicit type annotations, which confer benefits like improved performance and fewer r...

The marriage of bisimulations and Kripke logical relations
There has been great progress in recent years on developing effective techniques for reasoning about program equivalence in ML-like languages—that is, languages that combine fea...

Programming with binders and indexed data-types
We show how to combine a general purpose type system for an existing language with support for programming with binders and contexts by refining the type system of ML with a rest...
