Explicit Substitutions and Programming Languages
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The λ-calculus has been much used to study the theory of substitution in logical systems and programming languages. ...
However, with explicit substitutions, it is possible to get finer properties with respect to gradual implementations of substitutions as effectively done in runtimes of programming languages. ...
The language contains terms which are reductible, and programs which are constant. ...

Explicit substitutions and higher-order syntax
2003
Proceedings of the 2003 workshop on Mechanized reasoning about languages with variable binding - MERLIN '03
The syntax of a language with explicit substitutions does not form a binding algebra as an explicit substitution may bind an arbitrary number of variables. ...
This paper shows that a language containing explicit substitutions and a firstorder signature Σ is naturally modelled as the initial algebra of the Id + FΣ • + • endofunctor. ...

Building Interpreters with Rewriting Strategies
2002
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
The approach is illustrated with several interpreters for the lambda calculus based on implicit and explicit (parallel) substitution, different strategies including normalization, eager evaluation, lazy ...
Programming language semantics based on pure rewrite rules suffers from the gap between the rewriting strategy implemented in rewriting engines and the intended evaluation strategy. ...
Introduction Language prototyping is the activity of designing and validating the design of programming languages. ...

Preface: Theory and Applications of Abstraction, Substitution and Naming
2011
Journal of automated reasoning
Mathematical treatments of concrete syntax have always been a central concern in symbolic computation, programming language implementation and computer-aided reasoning. ...
The first International Workshop on Theory and Applications of Abstraction, Substitution and Naming (TASSN) took place in Edinburgh in 2007, followed by a second workshop in York in 2009, associated to ...
In the article On Explicit Substitution with Names, Rose, Bloo and Lang describe the origins of the family of calculi of explicit substitution with variable names known as λx, and study the properties ...

Functional Programming With Higher-order Abstract Syntax and Explicit Substitutions
2007
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
This paper sketches a foundation for programming with higher-order abstract syntax and explicit substitutions based on contextual modal type theory [9] . ...
In this paper, we extend these ideas even further by adding first-class contexts and substitutions so that a program can pass and access code with free variables and an explicit environment, and link them ...
Finally, we give several examples illustrating the basic ideas of programming with explicit substitutions. ...

Meta-programming with names and necessity
2002
Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Functional programming - ICFP '02
Meta-programming is a discipline of writing programs in a certain programming language that generate, manipulate or execute programs written in another language. ...
The resulting language provides a more fine-grained control over free variables of object programs when compared to the existing languages for meta-programming. ...
Introduction Meta-programming is a paradigm referring to the ability to algorithmically compose programs of a certain object language, through a program written in a meta-language. ...

A multi-stage language with intensional analysis
2006
Proceedings of the 5th international conference on Generative programming and component engineering - GPCE '06
This paper follows the approach of Sheard and Pasalic about the use of the meta-language Ωmega as a tool for language design. ...
Quoted expressions include an explicit annotation of their context which is used for dynamic inference of type, where a dynamic typing discipline based on Hinze and Cheney's approach is used for typing ...
Annotations include brackets, escape, run and explicit substitution. We don't include Cross-Stage Persistence in our language. ...

Summary: “Explicit substitutions were proposed by Abadi, Cardelli, Curien, Hardin and Lévy to internalise substitutions into A-calculus and to propose a mechanism for computing on substitutions. ...
In spirit, Av is closely re- lated to another calculus of explicit substitutions proposed by de Bruijn and called CAéy. ...

Explicit substitutions In this section we formally introduce the concept of explicit substitution over names and define related operations. ...

Programming with proofs and explicit contexts
2008
Proceedings of the 10th international ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Principles and practice of declarative programming - PPDP '08
In addition, we present an operational semantics for this language based on higher-order pattern matching for dependently typed objects. Based on this development, we prove progress and preservation. ...
This allows us to program with proofs as higher-order data. We present a decidable bidirectional type system that distinguishes between dependentlytyped data and computations. ...
This lays the foundation for programming with proofs and explicit contexts. ...

Higher-Order Substitutions
2001
Information and Computation
A new calculus of explicit substitutions for higher-order abstract syntax is introduced, allowing a high-level description of variable binding in object languages while also providing substitutions as ...
Higher-order abstract syntax is an approach to metaprogramming that explicitly captures the variable-binding aspects of programming language constructs. ...
Not only does this make programs harder to read and reason about, but a substitution predicate will be less efficient than meta-language substitution. ...

From Functional Programs to Interaction Nets via the Rewriting Calculus
2007
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
We use the ρ-calculus as an intermediate language to compile functional languages with pattern-matching features, and give an interaction net encoding of the ρ-terms arising from the compilation. ...
This encoding gives rise to new strategies of evaluation, where pattern-matching and 'traditional' β-reduction can proceed in parallel without overheads. ...
