- Type-Based Gradual Typing Performance Optimization
John Peter Campora, Mohammad Wahiduzzaman Khan, Sheng Chen · Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages · 2024-01 · open access
Gradual typing has emerged as a popular design point in programming languages, attracting significant interests from both academia and industry. Programmers in gradually typed languages are free to utilize static and dynamic typing as needed. To make such languages sound, runtime checks mediate the…

- Color vision evolution in egg-laying mammals: insights from visual photoreceptors and daily activities of Australian echidnas.
Sakamoto S, Matsushita Y, Itoigawa A et al. · Zoological letters · 2024-01 · open access
Egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are considered "primitive" due to traits such as oviparity, cloaca, and incomplete homeothermy, all of which they share with reptiles. Two groups of monotremes, the terrestrial echidna (Tachyglossidae) and semiaquatic platypus (Ornithorhynchidae), have evolved highly…
