Higher-order, Typed, Inferred, Strict: ACM SIGPLAN ML Family WorkshopSubmission page: https://icfp-mlworkshop18.hotcrp.com/ 28 September 2018, Saint Louis (MO), USA ML is a family of programming languages that includes Standard ML, OCaml, F#, CakeML, SML#, Manticore, MetaOCaml, JoCaml, Alice ML, Dependent ML, Flow Caml, and many others. All ML languages share several fundamental traits, besides a good deal of syntax. They are higher-order, strict, mostly pure, and typed, with algebraic and other data types. Their type systems are derived from Hindley-Milner. The development of these languages has inspired a significant body of computer science research and influenced the design of many other programming languages, including Haskell, Rust, and Scala. ML workshops have been held in affiliation with ICFP continuously since 2005. This workshop specifically aims to recognise the entire extended ML family and to provide a forum for presenting and discussing common issues, both practical (compilation techniques, implementations of concurrency and parallelism, programming for the Web) and theoretical (fancy types, module systems, metaprogramming). The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, application, implementation, and teaching of the members of the ML family. We also encourage presentations from related languages (such as ATS, Eff, F*, Koka, Links, Rust, Scala, Swift, etc.), to exchange experience of further developing ML ideas. Programme09h00--10h00: ELPI: an extension language with binders and unification variables (Invited talk) 10h20--10h45: Safely Mixing OCaml and Rust 10h45--11h10: Rust Distilled: An Expressive Tower of Languages 11h10--11h35: Generating Mutually Recursive Definitions 11h35--12h00: Experience Report: Type-Safe Multi-Tier Programming with Standard ML Modules 13h30--13h55: ML as a Tactic Language, Again 13h55--14h20: Design and verification of functional proof checkers 14h20--14h45: Disornamentation 14h45--15h10: Generic Programming with Combinators and Objects 15h30--15h55: Programming with Abstract Algebraic Effects CallWe expect research presentations of original and novel work, but emphasize that rigorous descriptions do not prevent preliminary or surprising work: we hope to encourage exciting (if unpolished) research and deliver a lively workshop atmosphere. The ML family workshop will be held in close coordination with the OCaml Users and Developers Workshop.
