Found above after poking around a bit for the state of the art in compiling natural semantics definitions. Uses Isabelle/HOL to autogenerate SML/NJ code. Scheme-like source language compiled to Java bytecodes -- clearly a proof-of-principle level of achievement.
2006-01-17 Singleton Kinds and Singleton Types Christopher Stone 2000 174p (Thesis)
2005-12-31 Wobbly types: type inference for generalized algebraic data types Peyton Jones + Washburn + Weirich 2004 POPL 15p: "Generalized algebraic data types (GADTs), sometimes know as guarded recursive datatypes" or "first-class phantom types", are a simple but powerful generalization of the data types of Haskell and ML..."
Compare to: Programming with Static Invariants in OmegaLinger + Sheard 2004 18p, which (e.g.) shows that a binomial heap implementation can be proved largely correct by the SML/Haskell typechecker using such techniques.
(Also among Sheard's recent papers is Languages of the Future OOPSLA 2004 14p -- sounds like it obsoletes MetaML.)
First-Class Phantom Types, Cheney and Hinze, 32p circa 2004. They credit the phantom types idea to Domain Specific Embedded CompilersLeijen and Meijer 1999 14p.
2005-12-30 A Type-Theoretic Interpretation of Standard ML, Robert Harper and Christopher Stone, 1999 29p.
and its companion tech report (1997, 78 pages) which appears to obsolete the previous year's A Type-Theoretic Account of Standard ML 1996 (Version 2) Harper + Chone Sep 10, 1996 82p. In updated form, this looks poised to become the standard semantics for successor ML, "sML".
Also worth checking out are recent papers (including 2002 thesis) by Stone and Harper papers such as (on callcc) Typing First-Class Continuations in ML (Harper Duba MacQueen 1993 15p)
(not to mention Andrew W Appel) such as Implementing the TILT internal language 2000 and A type system for higher-order modules Dreyer+Crary+Harper 2004 65p.
Bidirectional Type Checking 2005 9p looks at first blush at least to be a breakthrough in typed intermediate languages. Peyton Jones comments "Bidirectional type inference is one powerful tool" in his wobbly types paper.
Also worth a peek: Twelf User's Guide V1.4 2002 98p
"The Wizard of TILT" Tom Murphy 2002 22p CMU-CS-02-120 senior thesis w Harper + Crary mentions Wadler's "views" for pattern-matching ADTs. Pattern Matching and Abstract Data Types Tom Murphy VII 2002 36p slideset gives more detail, gives Views: A Way For Pattern Matching To Cohabit With Data Abstraction Wadler 1986 18p (which has a nice overview of "join lists", which support linear time appends) as the reference, then gives as an improvement Active Patterns ( A New Look at Pattern Matching in Abstract Data Types Pedro, Pena, Nunez 1996 12p and a without-language-extensions (but with-performance-hit) approach "Programming with Recursion Schemes" Wang + Murphy 2002.

WordseyeOn Tuesday, Bob Coyne, one of the developers of Symbolics' S-Paint system, will be speaking at the next meeting of Lisp NYC about his new project, WordsEye [via Jim Thompson].WordsEye allows untrained users to spontaneously and interactively create 3D scenes by simply describing them. By using natural language, ordinary users can quickly create 3D scenes without having to learn special software, acquire artistic skills, or even touch a desktop window-oriented interface. Creating graphics with natural language gives a new sense of power to words and suggests applications in education and creative play as well as the creation of visual art itself. WordsEye relies on a large database of 3D models and images to depict objects and surface textures. WordsEye is written in Common Lisp and runs on Linux(Posted to mud-dev by JCLawrence)

2005-04-17 Standard ML# of Kansai: SML# extends SML with polymorphic field selection and polymorphic non-destructive field update operation. Furthermore, polymorphic field accesses are always complied into efficient index operations. (For a formal description of SML#, see my paper "A Compilation Method for ML-style Polymorphic Record Calculi", POPL 1992 (its dvi file can be found in this directory.) I hope that the extensions embodied in SML# (or something like them) be integrated in the standard of future Standard ML.
SYNTAX OF SML#. It is the same as Standard ML except:2005-04-12 Fusions: "Bjorn Victor and Joachim Parrow invented the fusion calculus in 1996-1998. Their inspiration was two-fold: to simplify and make symmetric the pi calculus, and to model concurrent constraint programming. Meanwhile, independently, Yuxi Fu invented the chi calculus, essentially the same as the fusion calculus." Other keywords mentioned: equators and solos calculus.
- Flexible record patters (and the derived form of #label) are now first-class patterns, and can therefore used without type constraints, as explained above.
- The expression constructor of the form
#> exp => {lab1=exp1,---,labn=expn}is added. (The sequence #> is now a reserved word and cannot be used as an identifier.)- A type variable can be constrained with a record kind by the syntax:
'a # {label_1:type_1,---,label_n:type_n,....}The trailing "..." is optional.

NCSA DTM (Data Transfer Mechanism) "is a message-passing
library. It is designed to simplify the task of interprocess
communication and to facilitate the creation of sophisticated
distributed applications in a heterogeneous computing environment. To
accomplish this, DTM provides a method of interconnecting applications
at run-time and reliable message-passing complete with synchronization
and transparent data conversion. DTM has been optimized for large
messages (100 Kbytes and up), but is also efficient for smaller
messages. DTM is available on most platforms that support Berkeley
sockets library, including Cray Systems, CONVEX, TMC CM-2 and CM-5,
most UNIX-based workstations, Macintoshes, and MS-DOS machines."

I mourn the thousands slaughtered indiscriminately in the Temple by the Crusaders, "until the blood ran high as a horse's bridle."
I mourn the millions slaughtered in Europe during the Dark Ages for the hideous crime of being perhaps non-Christian.

I mourn not only the dead, but those otherwise caught as "collateral damage" in these mad maelstroms:
I mourn the thousands of children lost to the Children's Crusade.
I mourn the needless obsessive compulsives wasting their lives in fruitless rituals.
Not least, I mourn the billions of minds stunted for life by ruthless childhood indoctrination, and the guarantees of future deaths, hatreds, obsessions and insanities they carry within them.

One of those theories which looks too pretty and cogent to
be fundamentally wrong.
To me, it appears to squarely fit
one of the central physics themes of the last century, to wit:
It is impossible to observe the state of any volume of
space at any given instant, hence theory need not explain
any such observation. In particular, the entropy of a
given volume at a given instant need not be explicable
by physical theory.
What can be observed as being
'simultaneous' is the information carried by an incoming
light wavefront -- a surface -- and thus it is this which
we should expect to prove theoretically fundamental.
Aint hindsight wunnerful? :)
2005-01-25:
But it seems to be a much
lower-level and complex interface than JoCaml (say): It
may be better to look at it as an implementation guide
than as a primary application-programmer API...? It
also seems to be trying to stay C/C++ friendly, meaning
that it can't/doesn't leverage the advantages of ML as
much as it otherwise might...?

(This daily change of affection business
is irritating, because I want to settle down to a decade
or so of cranking out cool code in my next language of
choice. But by the same token, if I'm going to invest
a decade's work, I want to be pretty comfortable with my
choice of language.)
The main reasons SML/NJ has displaced Ocaml from my affections are
Less importantly,
Things I'll regret losing by not going with Ocaml:
Speaking of the latter, it just occurred to me that we can use the
same trick of forking and COW to preserve stable states of the server
for interaction with other servers. (: !! :)
At first glance,
they seem to have implemented everything I want in a virtual world
system! I particularly like the slick use of logic variables to
elegantly implement communication between massive numbers of threads
-- very reminiscent of the Japanese Fifth Generation Project's
approach in ParLog.
Unfortunately, they've completely punted on robustness --
they have no way to restore consistency after a failure, or even to
define -- much less detect -- when the system is in a consistent state.
They gaily ship state everywhere on the least excuse, leaving
themselves wide open to crashes, nevermind byzantine generals.
Also, although they appear to be using SML syntax as an
inspiration, I can't find any hint in the docs or code that they
are using Milner-Hindley typechecking, and without that they are
doomed to sucky performance making the whole system a cute toy
rather than a serious tool.
Ohwell.
(Below two both found on the excellent linkpage Modularity and Type) Finally -- a knight in shining armour to save us from the
C++ dragon! :)
Also, Xavier Leroy (who writes about 80% of the
system) is a brilliant hacker with good taste.
Unfortunately for me, the compiler is QPL, which makes it basically
impossible to do what I want to do: If I modify the language to
(say) support transactions, I cannot distribute the modified
source code (only the original plus patches) and cannot distribute
the modified binaries at all. Also, it is a C-style batch compiler,
less adapted to virtual world server use than the SML/NJ design of
internal incremental native code generation with heap dump and
restore.

From the Austin, TX Robot
Group's blimp design notes: "I have recently designed a telemetry
system for use on my R/C airplanes that uses a 68HC11 and
SuperCircuits ATV transmitter. The audio channel is driven by a modem
chip off the HC11's serial port so I get full motion video and 1200
baud data on the audio. A modem on the audio output of the TV
receiver feeds my HP palmtop with the data at RS232 levels and the
palmtop stores it on flash disk. My only regret is that I didn't go
with PC electronics for my transmitter - the lack of a sync pulse
stretcher on the SuperCircuits transmitter prevents sufficient sync
signal integrity to drive a VCR from the recovered video."

Type Classes in Haskell Hall, Hammon, Peyton Jones, Wadler (Glasgow) 1996 30p
"Industrial-grade" practical guide to implementing Haskell-style type
classes. Many useful references.
Design rationale of Epigram: Well, U Nottingham and U St Andrews are very enthusiastic about
dependent types! :) Most of the SML crowd seems to think
of them as problematically difficult to implement in both theory and practice.
Practical Datatype
Specialization with Phantom Types and Recursion
Schemes Fluet + Pucella: "Datatype specialization is
a form of subtyping that captures program invariants on
datastructures that are expressed using the convenient and
intuitive datatype notation. Of particular interest are
structural invariants such as well-formedness. We
investigate the use of phantom types for describing
datatype specializations. We show that it is possible to
express statically-checked specializations within the type
system of Standard ML. We also show that this can be done
in a way that does not lose useful programming
facilities such as pattern matching in case
expressions".
Anything which gains power without adding machinery is worth
careful examination! :) This paper references their previous
paper
Phantom Types and Subtyping Fluet + Pucella 2002 41: "We
investigate a technique from the literature, called the
phantom-types technique, that uses parametric
polymorphism, type constraints, and unification of
polymorphic types to model a subtyping
hierarchy. Hinley-Milner type systems, such as the one
found in standard ML, can be used to enforce the
subtyping relation. We show that this technique can be
used to encode any finite subtyping hierarchy (including
hierarchies arising from multiple interface
inheritance). We formally demonstrate the suitability of
the phantom-types technique for capturing subtypring by
exhibiting a type-preserveing translation from a simple
calculus with bounded polymorphism to a calculus
embodying the type system of SML.".
Why
Functional Programming Matters, John Hughes' 1984 23p
classic. I need to read the lazy evaluation modularization examples
really carefully at some point wrt whether there are good alternatives
in SML.
I skimmed this mostly to get a clue what Stephen Weeks was talking
about when mentioning "phantom types". :) (It appears to be obsoleted
by J Furuse's 2001 G'Caml stuff.)
Lief Kornstaedt 2001 16p
Built on top of SML/NJ. "Logic variables (which are better termed
holes in the context of functional Languages) are
powerful but error-pront: For increased safety, Alice
only provides futures and promises, which are
non-transparent logic variables."
"Futures must be anticipated virtually anywhere in Alice data structures."
That sounds bad. :( Sounds like they have cleverly managed to obtain
the worst of both worlds:
"The present implementation of Alice nearly attains that of Oz,
but of course cannot compete with high-perofmrance ML implementations."
2005-01-31:
"Aspect-Oriented Programming" seems to pop its head up every decade
or so. I keep waiting for it to show something really
convincining. Here is one guy who spent six months on it and gave up,
citing state and side effects as crucial unsolved problems -- rr
showstoppers, depending on one's optimism. (A setting like SML,
less state- and side-effect-oriented, might ameliorate these
problems?) He also suggests viewing it as a special case of
code generation -- perhaps MetaML and multistage programming
are relevant? I also wonder if SML modules and aggressive
compiler inlining don't perhaps alreadcy address the typical
examples of AOP? I'm currently betting against AOP having any great
longterm significance.

A retrospective on CPS vs ANF.
The original article was
The Essence of Compiling with Continuations 1993 11p Conference on
Programming Language Design Implemenntion
Preliminary work on moving the garbage collector out of the
trusted base, allowing it to be typechecked like other support
library code. This is something I'm very interested in, but it
does not correspond to anything currently in the SML/NJ
implementation, so I'll defer it for now.
REVISIT when I've got more immediate concerns under control.
A wonderful resource -- a two-month-old draft of a new textbook,
including answers to exercises! REREAD AFTER READING
PIERCE'S TEXT
This is a really good overview of the SML/NJ implementation of
stamps, static environments, signature matching,
thinning, structure sharing and such. REREAD CAREFULLY.
2005-01-09:
Fantastic -- just the type theory introduction I needed! (Man, I
love the Internet.)
Wish I'd read this last summer before diving into
the Definition of Standard ML and such. :)
Explains "contravariant" vs "covariant", [A/X]B &tc.
(But not \ alas.)
This is a very nice paper which I want to RETURN TO after reading
Pierce's introductory book on type theoory.
2005-01-08:
Provides a clear explanation and motivation of imperative type
variables and the "value restriction"
-- which is very welcome by itself! -- plus motivation and a
suggestion for a "relaxed value restriction".
Writing a provabely type-safe garbage collector. They claim
they have started implementing this in FLINT, but for now I
believe it is not required for grokking SML/NJ internals, so
I'm deferring careful reading.
"These primitives allow any polymorphic programs definable in
ML to be used remotely in a manner complete transparent
to the programmer."
Referenced by below paper. Keyword: dML.
They are interested in very heterogeneous environments, so only
communication of simple base values (bool, int...) is supported.
They also dodge concurrency among other things. Doesn't excite
from a near-term Muq perspective.
See also: Papers of Kazuhiko Kato
Without which, it is "impossible to code applications such as garbage
collection, persistency, or marshalling which must be
able to examine the type of any runtime value."
Need to re-read carefully at some point, but for now it
doesn't relate to grokking current SML/NJ internals.
Appears to be basically their grant proposal for the (DARPA) project.
A readable overview of where they are headed with PCC. PCC is not
immediately relevant to grokking SML/NJ but looks highly applicable
to online virtual world stuff build on top of SML/NJ.
NB: Also allows end-to-end checking of code -- an effective
defense against compiler bugs.
Going beyond traditional "known/escaping" style function classification.
Done on SML/NU v110.7. CFA="Control Flow Analysis".
This doesn't seem to be part of the production compiler.
Using Hindley-Milner derived type information to avoid explicit
tagging in the heap -- in order to get block length and non/pointer info,
the garbage collector traverses a separate stored typegraph as it traverses
the heap. Polymorphic functions -- the sticky issue -- are handled by
passing explicit additional type information at runtime.
Tagless implementation used Xavier Leroy's Gallium/CamlLight compiler.
Keeping combinatorial explosions in the type checker from
killing compile performance. In particular, keeping dags from
exploding into trees via use of hash-consing, memoization and advanced
lambda encoding. Describes SML/NJ as of 109.24, 1997-Jan.
2005-01-07:
Describes SML/NJ 110.5, 1998-Apr-08. Higher-level than I
have patience for at the moment, but worth careful reading at some point.
Getting ML and safe-C to play nice with each other. (Not relevant to
existing SML/NJ internals per se.)
Next stop after MetaML and MacroML.
Basically, moving type application overhead from runtime to linktime
Great review of SML history plus overview of SML/NJ internals as of
1994. The meaty part covers implementation of
type-directed compilation, space-efficient closure
representations, and list unrolling. Provides the
most detailed discussion of those, since a PhD thesis doesn't have the
space constraints of most published papers.
Beyond the cons cell: Using refinement types to eliminate
linkfields and nil checks. AKA "compile-time
cdr-coding".
Very nice! Similar to what I was trying to do for trees via "fat
leafs" -- but done as a source-to-source transformation.
I wonder if they've done that too? SHOULD FOLLOW UP AND SEE AT SOME
POINT, because it would be a big win if we could
similarly speed up generic use of binary trees.
Attempting to go beyond Hindley-Milner: Peyton Jones' "sexy types".
Looks like an excellent survey of where ML-family type systems are, and
where they are headed.
"Skilful use of sexy types can often turn what is usually regarded as
a runtime invariant into a compile-time check."
OOP, existential types, phantom types,
invariant enforcement, converting between monads, eigenvariables, deforestation...
THIS IS WORTH RE-READING SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY!
"The Standard ML of New Jersey compiler has been under development
for five years now."
"We remark that it would have been helpful if the definition of
Standard ML had included an LR(1) grammar for the language."
Excellent overview of SML/NJ parser organization and operation.
NB: Discusses tricks used to build LALR(1) parser for the language.
Briefly discusses static environments, type-checking and
weak type variables vs imperative type variables.
NB: At this point the type system was called "Damas-Milner" instead of
"Hindley-Milner".
Outlines the series of problems and design revisions in the module
system implementation.
Grumbles about expense of implementing polymorphic equality as defined.
A nice list is included of who did what:
John H Reppy: runtime, signal handling, call/cc, ffi, CML, eXene.
Trevor Jim: CPS representation, match compiler, closure-converter,
float library, external asm prims.
Bruce F Duba: match compiler, CPS constant-folding, incline-expansion,

Introduces CPS, "closure-passing style" CLO, and shared closure
records, among other stuff. This paper is so early
that everything is described in future tense. :)
Also features the first (?) SML/NJ encounter with
space-complexity safe closure synthesis.
2005-01-05:
"FLINT is based on a predicative variant of the Girard-Reynolds
polymorphic calculus Ew, extended with a very rich set
of primitive types and functions."
Part of SML/NJ since 109.24 (Jan 9 1997).
Covers both the formalism and also how such implementation techniques
as hash consing, memoization and lazy suspensions are used to improve efficiency.
Covers type specialization, lambda reduction, flexible representation
analysis and closure conversion.
EXCELLENT OVERVIEW material for the SML/NJ compiler hacker.
Joint work with David MacQueen. Used in SML/NJ starting with 109.24
"In the future we plan to use the module calculus presented in this
paper to formalize the configuration language used in
the SML/NJ Compilation Manager CM. We also plan to
extend our module calculus to support dynamic linking
and mutually recursive compilation units."
Over my head at the moment -- I need to find a tutorial on
existential types and such. WORTH RETURNING
TO. Apparently the only open issue at this point is recursive modules.
Short and readable overview. Most of the material is covered in
more detail in his other papers.
Cross-module inlining. Improved SML/NJ code by 4-8% when
introduced. Encourages modular coding by reducing the
performance penalty.
Describes aspects of SML/NJ CPS "contract" optimization phase such as "shrinking
inlining" and "shrink-normal form".
Gives an overview of the SML/NJ "middle end", at least as of
1989. Still provides a good overview and motivation.
Using integer linear programming (ILP) to do a better job of copy
elimination during register allocation on x86 -- 10%
faster than the previous iterated register coalescing code used in 110.23
SML/NJ! The brilliant part is doing it fast enough
for production use. They describe using the external modelling
language AMPL together with the simplex solver CPLEX
("which sometimes dumps core"), so I gather this is a proof of
principle rather than a production part of SML/NJ.
A spiffed-up version of their 1994 "Space-Efficient Closure
Representations" paper (below).

Goncalves, Appel
or more generally Andrew Appel's research papers
This is actually the best introduction I've seen to SML/NJ
internals. It motivates and describes the compiler global
architecture, the link model, static and dynamic environments in the
internal code sense, pids, stamps, pickling, de-/re-hydration, compilation units, "bin files," the global interactive
read-eval-print loop, "visible compiler," bootstrap
loading, cross-compilation, and in general the "view from ten thousand
feet" conceptual basis for understanding the SML/NJ implementation.
Describes "IRM," an early version of CM.
Reading MacQueen on SML is like reading Einstein on General
Relativity. :)
(This and the below both gleaned from the excellent
Frodo's Technical
Report Collection.)
Fascinating overview from one of the core SML/NJ implementors. E.g.:
"... lazy languages are constantly updating lazy closures ... from the
[garbage] collector's viewpoint ML has many fewer assignments
than Haskell..." I hadn't thought of that!

Another doc on SML/NJ internals. This one is about using
type information to unbox representations of polymorphic variables --
a revision which reduced heap allocation
36% and improved execution speed 19%.
NB: The FLINT doc treasure trove is http://flint.cs.yale.edu/flint/publications/
...wow -- this is beyond Dark Ages programming. Love it! Was
implemented in SML/NJ 1.01, resulting in roughly
20%-40% improvement in all measured generated-code dimensions.

1992 ?p J Gregory Morriset, Andrew Tolmach CMU
This looks to be the SMP implementation present in the
SML/NJ 110 runtime codebase.
NB: They comment that using processes sharing address space
-- rather than kernel threads -- keeps the signal interface
uniform, reducing the amount of runtime change needed to
support SMP.
NB: They outline what must be done at the SML level to
do mutual exclusion in the SMP environment -- implementing for
example a pipe. This is handy
given that only SML C support code seems to ship with SML/NJ
at present. (Maybe older versions can be mined?)
Protected control transfer is almost seven times faster than the
best reported implementation. Exception dispatch is five times faster
than the best reported implementation. One hundred times faster than
Ultrix 4.2. Flexibility not available in microkernel
based systems. Exokernel Aegis, library kernel ExOS.
Very nice -- open up traditionally kernel level code to application
programmers for optimization by separating protection from management.
Exokernels (unlike monolithic kernels) respect the Fairness Principle that programs shouldn't pay
a price for facilities they don't need or want.
Core mechanisms: secure bindings, visible revocation, abort protocols.
"Secure bindings allow the kernel to protect resources without
understanding them."
"Tarzan is the first anonymizing communication system that is both
self-organizing and fully-decentralized."
Looks like mix-net anonymizing finally Done Right.
Yet another facility I've long wanted. I'd given up
this fight as lost, but this paper renews my faith. My only
complaint: since it is the
natural prey of Carnivore, it should have been called Herbivore. :)
Cool! This does what I was going to do using power-of-two
skiplists (I recently realized random skiplists
world probably work just as well) but much more
nicely. In particular, they piggyback all index maintainanace
on lookup requests -- brilliant! Supports strong anonymity at
a constant cost in extra messages/lookup. Points to Chord, CAN,
Tapestry and Pastry as competing ideas/systems.
NB: John Reppy says (below) that this is what SML/NJ will
likely use to reduce GC latency in future. Depends on virtual
memory page faults, which others have reported to be a
performance problem. Maybe we need an exokernel? :)
NB: This SML/NJ design takes explicit cognizance of Nettles's
replication-based incremental copying collector.
Essentially a later, scaled-up version of the below paper. The
debugger grew from 3200 to 7900 lines of SML/NJ.
Very nice -- debugging by rewriting the source syntax tree instead of
by mucking around in the generated code! 3200 lines of
SML/NJ. Code executes about 1/2 to 1/4 as fast under
debugger. 3Also
supports reverse execution, checkpointing via persistent
datastructure approach instead of by
fork()ing. Everything is "time"-based -- simulates
location-based breakpoints via time breakpoints.
Gives stack traces in
SML/NU even though SML/NJ has no stack! :)
Much side-effect-tracking logic could be shared between this
code and Venari-style transaction support.
2004-12-16:
At first blush (at least) this Join-Calculus based formalism looks
prettier than CML, plus it folds distributed and concurrent
programming into one paradigm instead of needing two.
Unfortunately, the source is QPL, so we'll have to re-implement it
from scratch, presumably using CML as the jumping-off point.
The JoCaml homepage
has links to lots more docs. Implementation is about 100KL of Ocaml
and 40KL of C.

Novel: "... is support for multi-threaded concurrent transactions."

seem to address node failures, at least per se.

in the absence of language support for module recursion.

Despite the title, an engaging and accessible overview of what
Natural Semantics is and why it has lately become more popular than
Denotational Semantics in the programming language field.

12p Mar 10 1999 The ML2000 Working Group
ML2000 per se appears to be dead, but this remains a very valuable,
carefully considered critique of SML's successes
and failures by the massed best and brightest of the
ML world. SML features dropped include:
Generic quality, imperative type variables, infix declarations,
abstype, overflow exception.
(Since the recommendations were eventually dropped, they probably
merit less respect.)

Reviews lambda calculus topics like alpha, beta and eta reduction
(handy if your grasp of the jargon is as rusty as
mine!) and then covers basic SML.
Another one worth a leisurely summertime reading at some point.
An excellent overview of SML module pragmatics.
Actually, I just skimmed it. This would be a good book to read
slowly and carefully next summer vacation.
