Copy-and-Patch Just-in-Time Compiler for RVMIL 20252025-10-15
Implements a copy‑and‑patch baseline JIT for GNU R by extracting interpreter instruction bodies into stencils, emitting native code at runtime, and patching…
Talk on
Reducing Feedback PollutionVMIL 20242024-10-20
JIT compiler for R stores type observations in separate per-call-context feedback vectors instead of one shared vector, so recorded types no longer merge…
Talk on
Decidable Subtyping of Existential Types for JuliaPLDI 20242024-06-24
Proves Julia’s runtime subtyping is undecidable via reduction from System F<: and designs a restricted grammar that is stratify types into method signatures…
Talk
Prof. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Dynamic LanguagesDLS 20232023-10-24
Three decades of work yields concrete claims and tools: about 140 papers across language design, types, and implementations; an automated record-replay…
Talk
Reusing Just-in-Time Compiled CodeOOPSLA 20232023-10-23
An experimental JIT called Ř is extended to record compiled functions into a persistent curated code repository and later replay matching versions to skip…
Talk on
Type Stability in Julia: Avoiding Performance Pathologies in JIT CompilationOOPSLA 20212021-10-17
Formalizes type stability and introduces a stronger property, type groundedness, proves grounded instances always fully devirtualize under a modeled JIT, and…
Talk on
Promises Are Made to be BrokenOOPSLA 20212021-10-17
Presents a concrete migration: a dynamic analyzer called LazR that generates strictness signatures for R functions (52K functions, 204K parameters inferred)…
Talk
What we Eval in the ShadowsOOPSLA 20212021-10-17
Study of 240,327 R scripts (15,401 packages) records 49,296,059 eval calls and exercises ~18k eval call-sites, showing eval is pervasive and varied. Only 6% of…
Talk
Formally Verified Speculation and Deoptimization in a JIT CompilerPOPL 20212021-01-17
A formal model defines a JIT’s middle end, an RTL-like IR and two concrete speculative ops: the anchor instruction which marks safe deoptimization points and…
Talk on
Sampling Optimized Code for Type FeedbackDLS 20202020-11-17
Prototype integrates sampling into the Ř JIT to recover type feedback lost in optimized tiers and triggers recompiles when samples contradict…

Fitzcarraldo — or How to Hack Academia to Build StuffSPLASH 2020 REBASE2020-11-16
What does a movie about a monomaniacal quest to build an opera house in the Amazon Basin has to do with science? Programming language research is at a…

Talk on
Contextual Dispatch for Function SpecializationOOPSLA 20202020-11-15
Built a JIT called Ř JIT compiler that specializes functions to dynamic call-site properties using contextual dispatch: contexts form a comparable lattice…
Talk on
World Age in Julia: Optimizing Method Dispatch in the Presence of EvalOOPSLA 20202020-11-15
Julia uses a world-age semantics that delays visibility of methods added by eval until between top-level calls, enabling safe inlining and avoiding…
Talk on
Designing Types for R, EmpiricallyOOPSLA 20202020-11-15
A function annotation language and runtime contract checker are built and evaluated: Typetracer is a dynamic tracer on a modified R VM that infers types from…
Talk on
Ask Me Anything with Guy SteelePLDI 20202020-06-15
Long Q&A that hits concrete projects and lessons: explains the telnet song as a real exponential-escape-character example, evaluates persistent memory vs…
Talk on
R Melts Brains -- An IR for First-Class Environments and Lazy Effectful ArgumentsDLS 20192019-10-20
An SSA-based intermediate language PIR IR models first-class environments, promises (makepromise/force) and closures explicitly so scope-resolution computes…
