Ethan Canton
Cethan developed core features and infrastructure for the Pirouette-Compiler repository, focusing on compiler development, network programming, and system integration using OCaml and Dune. Over seven months, he implemented HTTP-based messaging interfaces, extended the AST to support foreign function declarations, and stabilized FFI integration for external code interoperability. His work included building robust parsing and code generation pipelines, improving error handling, and centralizing configuration for maintainability. Cethan also enhanced the build system, expanded test coverage, and introduced DOT-format AST visualization for debugging. These contributions improved the compiler’s reliability, developer experience, and readiness for multi-module and distributed environments.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for akhirsch/Pirouette-Compiler focused on delivering reliable cross-module code generation, stabilizing FFI interop, and improving runtime safety. Highlights include: (1) FFI and multi-module codegen correctness improvements across modules with refined emission and parsing, plus non-recursive bindings; (2) targeted fixes and improvements validated by unit tests and codegen cleanups; (3) corrected NetIR example calculation; (4) fixed network messaging sending path to properly handle success flow; (5) ensured FunApp runtime evaluation yields Unit when the first argument is Unit. These changes reduce runtime errors, improve developer experience, and strengthen the product’s reliability for multi-module projects and interop scenarios.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for akhirsch/Pirouette-Compiler. This period focused on network capabilities and build/tooling improvements. Key deliverables included a Net AST extension with foreign function declarations and updated documentation, plus HTTP protocol support with Dune-based build file generation, improved HTTP error handling and synchronous execution, and HTTP toplevel code generation (emit_toplevel_http) with updates to main and mock server/client initialization. These changes expand the compiler's network expressiveness, improve build reproducibility, and strengthen the test harness and developer experience.
