Hume: a bounded time concurrent language
Kevin L Hammond · 2002
This paper gives a formal description of Hume, a novel functionally-based concurrent language that aims to target space- and time-critical systems. The language supports rigorous cost and space analyses, whilst providing a high level of abstraction including polymorphic type inference, automatic memory management, and higher-order functions. It is designed around a formal dynamic semantics, integrated with a simple static time analysis.
