Stefan Marr, Researcher and Lecturer

Stefan Marr I am working at the School of Computing at the University of Kent. My work focuses on programming language implementation techniques and concurrent and parallel programming.

In my dissertation, I proposed an ownership-based metaobject protocol as a unifying substrate for concurrency support in multi-language VMs.

Currently, I am working on fast dynamic language implementations, on combining concurrency models in a safe manner, automatically preventing concurrency issues from manifesting, and to enable developers to make sense of complex concurrent programs with appropriate tools.

For contact details see my page at the School of Computing.

Apr 17, 2018 A Typical Truffle Specialization Pitfall
Writing specializations is generally pretty straight forward, but there is at least one common pitfall. When designing specializations, we need to remind ourselves that type-based specializations are technically guards.
Aug 10, 2016 Can we get the IDE for free, too?
With the Truffle language implementation framework, we got a powerful foundation for implementing languages as simple interpreters. In combination with the Graal compiler, Truffle interpreters execute their programs as very efficient native code.

Now that we got just-in-time compilation essentially “for free”, can we get IDE integration for our Truffle languages as well?
