Programming Languages

Overview

The Programming Languages group studies the design, implementation, and formalization of programming languages. Our research includes work on language design, type systems, functional programming, and visual languages. We specialize in developing domain-specific languages that support solving and communicating difficult problems in a particular area by raising the level of abstraction, focusing on essential complexity, and empowering domain experts who may not be professional programmers. We also apply programming language techniques to solve problems in software engineering and end-user programming.
