The recent surge of interest in secure memory management has sparked a renaissance of type safe systems programming languages. ATS is a statically typed ML that compiles to C and offers what almost no other modern systems language including Rust has: type safe pointer arithmetic. It is unabashedly large and complex featuring a dazzling array of verification tools from advanced type system mechanisms like refinement types right up a full proof language. This talk will use these features to show off the language’s incredible power and control with non-trivial examples C interop, concurrency, and GC free low latency servers. No ATS experience is expected but the talk will move fast. Basic experience with C and a type system like Haskell’s will be helpful.

I have decided to make the full text of the book available in PDF.

1996, but I don’t think much has changed.
