Content

This lecture is about the semantics and type systems of modern programming
languages. We discuss the foundations of programming languages using formal
semantics (such as small-step operational semantics), formal type systems and
their properties, and different variants of typed lambda calculi that constitute
the foundation for modern type systems.
Objectives

Students will be able to discuss and analyze modern programming languages in
terms of the properties of their theoretical foundations. They will understand
the design space and tradeoffs of type systems for these languages.
