- Presented at one of the top computer science conferences for programming languages (acceptance rate: 27%/281), this paper gives a denotational static semantics for OCaml, allowing formal verification of the correctness of source-level transformations involving renaming. The work also contributes software implementing the analysis (https://gitlab.com/trustworthy-refactoring/refactorer). This work has led to an ongoing collaboration with Jane Street Capital (contact: Mark Shinwell), a major user of OCaml.
