A Type-Theoretic Foundation for Programming With Higher-Order Abstract Syntax and First-Class Substitutions

Higher-Order Abstract Syntax HOAS is a simple, powerful technique for implementing object languages, since it directly supports common and tricky routines dealing with variables, such as capture-avoiding substitution and renaming. This is achieved by representing binders in the object-language via binders in the meta-language. However, enriching functional programming languages with...
