Program

All times are in Central European Summer Time (CEST). Please translate these into your own time zone, using a service such as time and date.

For the talks & discussions and also the social meetings we use Zoom. Although Zoom can work in a modern web browser, you best download the software and familiarise yourself with its features beforehand.

We are proud to announce the invited speakers of IFL 2021:

  • Stephanie Weirich - How to implement the lambda calculus, quickly
    abstract
    Alpha-equivalence and capture-avoiding substitution are two fundamental operations in the implementation of the lambda calculus. But, what is the best way to implement these operations in Haskell? I wish I knew.
    In this talk, which is part tutorial and part work-in-progress, I'll present what I have learned from gathering many, many implemenations of these operations into the same repository and comparing their execution using a small benchmark suite.
    One observation to make is that that most of these implementations of capture-avoiding substitution require multiple traversals of the AST, which can lead to significant slowdown on larger examples. However, by reifying, delaying, and fusing these traversals, we can dramatically improve performance. Not only that, but I will also show how this optimization can be invisibly incorporated into binding libraries that automatically provide capture-avoiding substitution "for free".
