Péter Gömöri - Gradualizer: challenges implementing a type checker - ElixirConf EU 2019
Talk in three words: types, static-code-analysis, Gradualizer
Abstract
Type systems and gradual typing is beautiful and a type checker for Elixir that finds all type errors at compile time would be very useful. Putting the theory aside, Peter will explore the everyday difficulties of implementing such a type checker and testing it properly.
Objectives
After this talk attendees will value the many years of development and discipline that was put into Dialyzer and also see what added-value Gradualizer can bring.
Audience
Developers interested in type-checking.
The speaker
Peter spent quite a few years at Ericsson where he became an Erlang native. Later he utilised his experience in various other industries from sports-betting to online ad servers at Erlang Solutions. Recently, he has joined Appliscale to fight cloud-scale systems.
