Distinguished Paper at ICFP 2024
My student Anto Chen and I are honored and grateful that our paper The Long Way to Deforestation received a Distinguished Paper award at ICFP 2024!
The paper is about using “type inference and elaboration”, a new compiler optimization technique, to automatically remove intermediate data structures from functional programs.
