Projects

WebAssembly, a safe and portable code format. I co-designed the language, I am the author and editor of its specification and formalisation and maintainer of the reference interpreter, and I am an active member of the W3C working group driving forward its design and standardisation.

--------

V8, a high-performance virtual machine for JavaScript, used e.g. in Chrome, Android, Opera, and by node.js. I am the lead of the JavaScript language team, responsible for new language features.

--------

Ecma TC 39, I have been a member of the standardisation committee for JavaScript since 2011, and took part in the design of the lomg-awaited 6th edition (ES6 a.k.a. ES2015), as well as consecutive ones.

--------

Alice ML, a language for typed open programming, i.e., with support for type-safe dynamic linking, dynamic export, concurrency and distribution. This also was the topic of my PhD thesis.

--------

HaMLet, a model implementation of Standard ML. I try to maintain a list of defects and ambiguities in the language's specification.

--------

Successor ML, an attempt to evolve SML past its 1997 edition. I proposed and specified various language extensions, some of which have been merged into the language definition and are being implemented in MLton and SML/NJ.

--------

Miscellaneous

SML and OCaml, side by side, a quick chart comparing the syntax of Standard ML and Objective Caml (the most visited of my pages).

--------

ICFP Programming Contest, together with different colleagues I participated in several contests as team "Helikopter" (named after the famous "Helikopter-Streichquartett" by Karlheinz Stockhausen). We were astonished when we won the Judge's Prize in 2000!

--------

Together with Martin Sulzmann from Uni Singapore and the Chameleon team I worked a bit on the overloading framework based on constraint handling rules and the Chameleon language.

--------

M, a purely functional, higher-order module language that I co-designed and implemented as a graduate student (now long dead).

--------

Sartre, not done by me, but remains my favorite programming language of all time.
