Thesis title: Functional Data Structures for Typed Racket

Abstract:

In the past two decades, a wide variety of functional data structures
have been developed and proved to be practical. These data structures
appear in functional languages such as Haskell, OCaml and
Clojure. Although Typed Racket provides some valuable functional data
structures, these are insufficient to fully support functional
programming. This thesis presents a library of functional data
structures for Typed Racket and reports on their feasibility and
performance. At the same time, it presents an evaluation of Typed
Racket's suitability for developing large libraries.
