Hi, author of the paper here, happy to answer any questions.
Any PL related material you'd recommend as a prerequisite for these materials? I don't have a formal CS background, but I do have a few years' professional experience.
The only prerequisites are basic discrete math (first-order logic, sets, etc.) and computer systems (C, memory management, threading) knowledge.
This is a great trend I'm seeing in college-level CS education, where (generally younger) people are bringing real-world ideas into the classroom and presenting them by their underlying theory - this will certainly be useful knowledge for your students and I thank you for doing so!
Thanks for the kind words!
Is the course content available online? Do you have any community around it?
The paper summarises well about current tech stack and bringing it to the University.
How did the students react to session types? They are awkward to use in practise (communication topology is usually data dependent) and Rust is awkward, so both together should be really clunky ...
Awesome for the author to post course material online! The use of Rust and Webassembly seem really interesting. Definitely something I'll check out.
This can be helpful and interesting for the ones who are interested in this stuff. I think that it is part of what the author want to achieve, correct me if i am wrong, thank you.
