Preface
This volume contains the proceedings of the 10th Asian Symposium on
Programming Languages and Systems (APLAS 2012), held in Kyoto, Japan
during December 11–13, 2012. APLAS aims at stimulating programming lan-
guage research by providing a forum for the presentation of the latest results
and the exchangeof ideas in topics concernedwith programminglanguagesand
systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is an international forum that serves the
worldwide programming language community. The past APLAS symposia were
successfully held in Kenting (2011), Shanghai (2010), Seoul (2009), Bangalore
(2008), Singapore (2007), Sydney (2006), Tsukuba (2005), Taipei (2004), and
Beijing (2003) after three informal workshops.
The topics covered in the conference include, but are not limited to, seman-
tics,logics,andfoundationaltheory;designoflanguagesandfoundationalcalculi;
domain-specific languages; type systems; compilers, interpreters, and abstract
machines;programderivation, synthesis, and transformation;programanalysis,
constraints,verification,andmodel-checking;softwaresecurity;concurrencyand
parallelism;andtoolsforprogramming,verification,andimplementation.
This year, 58 papers were submitted to APLAS. Each submission was re-
viewed by three or more program committee members. After thoroughly evalu-
ating the relevance and quality of each paper,the committee chose to accept 24
papers for presentation at the conference.
This year’s program also continues the APLAS tradition of invited talks by
distinguished researchers:
– Jan Vitek (Purdue University) on Planet Dynamic or: How I Learned to
Stop Worrying and Love Reflection
– Greg Morrisett (Harvard University) on Scalable Formal Machine Models,
and,
– Xavier Leroy (INRIA) on Mechanized Semantics for Compiler Verification.
This program would not have been possible without the unstinting efforts of
several people, whom we would like to thank. First, the program committee
and subreviewers for the hard work put in towards ensuring the high quality of
the proceedings. Our thanks also go to the Asian Association for Foundation
of Software (AAFS), founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many
researchers from Europe and the USA, for sponsoring and supporting APLAS.
We would like to warmly thank the steering committee in general and Jacques
Garrigue and Kohei Suenaga for their support in the local organization and
for organizing the poster session. Finally, we are grateful to Andrei Voronkov
whoseEasyChairsystemeasedthe processesofsubmission,paperselection,and
proceedings compilation.

Abstract. Afundamentalbeliefunderlyingfortyyearsofprogramming
languages research, aptly captured by the slogan “Well-typed programs
can’t go wrong”, is that programs augmented with machine-checked an-
notationsaremorelikelytobefreeofbugs.Butofcourse,realprograms
dowrongandprogrammersarevotingwiththeirfeet.Dynamiclanguages
suchas Ruby,Python,Lua,JavaScriptand Rareunencumberedby
redundant type annotations and are increasingly popular. JavaScript,
thelingua franca oftheweb,is movingtotheserverwith thesuccess of
Node.js. R, another dynamic language, is being used in statistics, biol-
ogy and finance for data analysis and visualization. Not only are these
languagesdevoidoftypes,buttheyutterlylackanystaticstructurethat
could be used for program verification. This talk will draw examples
from recent results on JavaScript and R to illustrate theextent of the
problem and propose some directions for research.
