Abstract

We present Pirouette, a language for typed higher-order functional choreographic programming. Pirouette offers programmers the ability to write a centralized functional program and compile it via endpoint projection into programs for each node in a distributed system. Moreover, Pirouette is defined generically over a (local) language of messages, and lifts guarantees about the message type system to its own. Message type soundness also guarantees deadlock freedom. All of our results are verified in Coq.

Abstract
Choreographic programming is an emerging programming paradigm for concurrent and distributed systems, where developers write the communications that should be enacted and a compiler then automatically generates a distributed implementation.
