super-Charging Object-Oriented Programming Through Precise Typing of Open Recursion

Authors: Andong Fan and Lionel Parreaux

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 263, 37th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2023)

Abstract
We present a new variation of object-oriented programming built around three simple and orthogonal constructs: classes for storing object state, interfaces for expressing object types, and mixins for reusing and overriding implementations. We show that the latter can be made uniquely expressive by leveraging a novel feature that we call precisely-typed open recursion. This features uses "this" and "super" annotations to express the requirements of any given partial method implementation on the types of respectively the current object and the inherited definitions. Crucially, the fact that mixins do not introduce types nor subtyping relationships means they can be composed even when the overriding and overridden methods have incomparable types. Together with advanced type inference and structural typing support provided by the MLscript programming language, we show that this enables an elegant and powerful solution to the Expression Problem.

super-Charging Object-Oriented Programming Through Precise Typing of Open Recursion (Artifact)

Authors: Andong Fan and Lionel Parreaux

Published in: DARTS, Volume 9, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 37th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2023)

Abstract
This artifact consists of an SBT project with a Scala implementation of the MLscript programming language extended with "super-charged" object-oriented programming features (SuperOOP), introduced in the corresponding paper. We provide a test suite that includes SuperOOP examples and a web demo that gives live typing and running results of the user input source.

Direct Foundations for Compositional Programming (Artifact)

Authors: Andong Fan, Xuejing Huang, Han Xu, Yaozhu Sun, and Bruno C. d. S. Oliveira

Published in: DARTS, Volume 8, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 36th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2022)

Abstract
Our companion paper proposes a new formulation of the 𝖥_{i}^{+} calculus with disjoint polymorphism and a merge operator based on Type-Directed Operational Semantics. The artifact contains Coq formalization of the 𝖥_{i}^{+} calculus and our new implementation of the CP language, which demonstrates the new 𝖥_{i}^{+} can serve as the direct foundation for Compositional Programming.

Direct Foundations for Compositional Programming

Authors: Andong Fan, Xuejing Huang, Han Xu, Yaozhu Sun, and Bruno C. d. S. Oliveira

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 222, 36th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2022)

Abstract
The recently proposed CP language adopts Compositional Programming: a new modular programming style that solves challenging problems such as the Expression Problem. CP is implemented on top of a polymorphic core language with disjoint intersection types called 𝖥_{i}^{+}. The semantics of 𝖥_{i}^{+} employs an elaboration to a target language and relies on a sophisticated proof technique to prove the coherence of the elaboration. Unfortunately, the proof technique is technically challenging and hard to scale to many common features, including recursion or impredicative polymorphism. Thus, the original formulation of 𝖥_{i}^{+} does not support the two later features, which creates a gap between theory and practice, since CP fundamentally relies on them. This paper presents a new formulation of 𝖥_{i}^{+} based on a type-directed operational semantics (TDOS). The TDOS approach was recently proposed to model the semantics of languages with disjoint intersection types (but without polymorphism). Our work shows that the TDOS approach can be extended to languages with disjoint polymorphism and model the full 𝖥_{i}^{+} calculus. Unlike the elaboration semantics, which gives the semantics to 𝖥_{i}^{+} indirectly via a target language, the TDOS approach gives a semantics to 𝖥_{i}^{+} directly. With a TDOS, there is no need for a coherence proof. Instead, we can simply prove that the semantics is deterministic. The proof of determinism only uses simple reasoning techniques, such as straightforward induction, and is able to handle problematic features such as recursion and impredicative polymorphism. This removes the gap between theory and practice and validates the original proofs of correctness for CP. We formalized the TDOS variant of the 𝖥_{i}^{+} calculus and all its proofs in the Coq proof assistant.
