Dr. Anna Latour

I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

With the NWO XL consortium on Cyclic Structures in Programs and Proofs, we are looking for 6 highly motivated and talented PhD students starting in September (with some flexibility).

The topics range from Modal logic, proof theory, and coalgebras to Programming languages, concurrency, and type systems and Proof assistants (#Agda, #Rocq).

Information about the positions and application procedure can be found on the website:

cyclic-structures.gitlab.io/vacancies/

Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis but should be submitted by the 23rd of May for full consideration.

Please forward to any strong candidates you know!

Bit of a newbie question, but why is CPS favored for IRs for functional languages? Links welcome 😁

This seems a very cool and interesting evolution for a stable and productive language, focused on real needs in the industry. The focus on making sure it all integrates well and works with legacy code is astounding. Very nice. Ocaml future seems great.

I wonder what would a c clone, like a c++ that is, instead of being object oriented, it was functional, like a cλλ, like inline assembly with category theory whitepaper code. That would be the most language ever. Like no side effects, with totally side effects. Like it also has some object stuff like how c++ is supposed to have some but it's just a featureful struct. I'm genuinely curious, morbidly. #programming #c #cpp #haskell #programminglanguages #doesanybodylikethis #insanity #darkwoke

«...huge leap forward, because the practical state of language specifications is basically stuck in the 1960s: most language standards, even new ones, are still defined by some basic grammar notation for their syntax (and sometimes not even that), while their semantics is given by a combination of pretty prose, hidden assumptions, and wishful thinking.»

I still love Java, but every time I switch back from Kotlin or Scala, I can relate... There's always something missing.
