At ICFP 2022 I attended a talk given by Tomasz Drab, about this paper:

    "A simple and efficient implementation of strong call by need by an abstract machine"
    https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3549822

This is right up my alley since I've implemented strong call-by-need evaluation
quite a few times (without ever doing more formal analysis of it) and I'm also
interested in performance improvements. Such evaluation is required in
conversion checking in dependently typed languages.

Minimal dependent lambda caluclus with:
  - HOAS-only representation
  - Lossless printing
  - Bidirectional checking
  - Efficient evaluation & conversion checking

Garbage collection with zero cost at non-GC time

Every once in a while I investigate low-level backend options for PL-s, although so far I haven't actually written any such backend for my projects. Recently I've been looking at precise garbage collection in popular backends, and I've been (like on previous occasions) annoyed by limitations and compromises.

I was compelled to think about a system which accommodates precise relocating GC as much as possible. In one extreme configuration, described in this note, there
