Abstract
Algebraic theories provide a general way to study computational effects in an impure functional programming language— effects such as reading/writing to memory, raising exceptions, and non-deterministic choice. The algebraic theories are equational, and so they suggest program transformations on top of a semantic analysis.
I will give a basic introduction to this recent topic and present my work in this area.
