Resource-Safe Systems Programming with Embedded Domain Specific Languages

Abstract. We introduce a new overloading notation that facilitates pro-gramming, modularity and reuse in Embedded Domain Specific Lan-guages (EDSLs), and use it to reason about safe resource usage and state management. We separate the structural language constructs from our primitive operations, and show how precisely-typed functions can be lifted into the EDSL. In this way, we implement a generic framework for constructing state-aware EDSLs for systems programming
