Duality in Action (Invited Talk)

Authors: Paul Downen and Zena M. Ariola

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 195, 6th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2021)

Abstract
The duality between "true" and "false" is a hallmark feature of logic. We show how this duality can be put to use in the theory and practice of programming languages and their implementations, too. Starting from a foundation of constructive logic as dialogues, we illustrate how it describes a symmetric language for computation, and survey several applications of the dualities found therein.

Beyond Polarity: Towards a Multi-Discipline Intermediate Language with Sharing

Authors: Paul Downen and Zena M. Ariola

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 119, 27th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2018)

Abstract
The study of polarity in computation has revealed that an "ideal" programming language combines both call-by-value and call-by-name evaluation; the two calling conventions are each ideal for half the types in a programming language. But this binary choice leaves out call-by-need which is used in practice to implement lazy-by-default languages like Haskell. We show how the notion of polarity can be extended beyond the value/name dichotomy to include call-by-need by only adding a mechanism for sharing and the extra polarity shifts to connect them, which is enough to compile a Haskell-like functional language with user-defined types.
