Projects - Veni grant on "Composable and Safe-by-Construction Programming Language Definitions" for Casper Bach Poulsen
23 Sep 2019
Casper Bach Poulsen (TU Delft) has been awarded an NWO Veni grant for his proposal entitled Composable and Safe-by-Construction Programming Language Definitions. Type-checked languages are invaluable tools for developing complex software because they automatically guarantee the absence of certain errors. However, developing and extending type-checked languages is prohibitively hard. This project will develop techniques for safe-by-construction,composable language definitions to facilitate th...
