 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'A new trend in programming languages and system design is the use of constructs derived from the functional language field. Owning to a variety of inherent characteristics, functionally enabled languages are emerging as a competent alternative to object-orientation in environments requiring fast development turnover. Despite the apparent increase in their use, the software engineering properties, including the alleged advantages, of such languages are largely unexplored. With the proposed project, I aim to investigate whether the functional characteristics present in modern languages improve developer productivity and reduce code complexity, by designing tools and methods that will allow me to empirically assess existing applications. On the software complexity front, I propose the design of a new metric that unifies complexity estimation in functional and imperative environments. On the productivity front, I propose functional equivalents as a way to compare developer expressiveness between programming languages. In addition to the research targets, the project complements my long term objective to achieve research independence, by enabling my move to a different working environment and allowing me to receive training in career advancement fields, such as research leadership and teaching. The project has a target duration of 18 months and will be executed at TU Delft, with guidance provided by Prof. Arie van Deursen.'
