New programming language research that might be of interest

[arabella....@gmail.com]

I recently stumbled across Microsoft's research programming language Koka. What I specifically found interesting about it was this:

Perceus is an advanced compilation method for reference counting. Together with evidence translation, this lets Koka compile directly to C code without needing a garbage collector or runtime system. Perceus also performs reuse analysis and optimizes functional-style programs to use in-place updates when possible (see the benchmarks).

(The links go to papers with more information.)

It was previously stated somewhere that a simple garbage collection strategy is used with Felix to maintain compatibility with C/C++. However, this language has a compilation strategy that is called "functional, but in place," or FBIP that allows it to avoid using a garbage collector and maintain compatibility with C.

Might be worth looking into.

I’ll look. Apple objective C also has automatic reference counting
