Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Macro embedding is a popular approach to defining extensible shallow embeddings of object languages in Scheme-like host languages. While macro embedding has even been shown to enable implementing extensible typed languages in systems like Racket, it comes at a cost: compile-time performance. In this paper, we revisit micros—syntax to intermediate representation (IR) transformers, rather than source syntax to source syntax transformers (macros). Micro embedding enables stopping at an IR, producing a deep embedding and enabling high performance compile-time functions over an efficient IR, before shallowly embedding the IR back into source syntax. Combining micros with several design patterns to enable the IR and functions over it to be extensible, we achieve extensible hybrid embedding of statically typed languages with significantly improved compile-time compared to macro-embedding approaches. We describe our design patterns and propose new abstractions packaging these patterns.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
