Incrementalizing Statix: A Modular and Incremental Approach for Type Checking and Name Binding using Scope Graphs

Statix is a language which generates a type checker from a declarative specification. However, Statix is not fast enough for quick feedback in IDEs because it always has to reanalyze all files. In this thesis, we improve the analysis time of Statix by applying the ideas of separate compilation to create a model for incremental analysis. Statix...

Incremental Type Checking in IncA

When using an integrated development environment, it is desirable to get real-time feedback on the correctness of the program. That is, we want to see the results of the type checker in real-time. However, type checking can take a long time, especially when the subject program is large. To be able to provide real-time results, we need to...

Provably Sound Typechecking of JavaScript

Since its inception in 1995, JavaScript usage has grown far beyond its initial domain of interactive websites. As the size of applications developed in the language grows, so does the desire for static analysis such as typechecking to provide safety and reliability. Many developments have been made in recent years on increasing the precision of...
