    1. look at solver.
  • neat -> combine
  • partial order -> combine

Q: TA / research pos

  • Any open source compiler work?

    • e.g. with ocaml?

  • Verifying Silica in K-framework

  • Resource analysis with smart contracts

~2s - ours -0.892s - clang

  • minikanren to synthesize minikanren

  • TODO: choose paper
