Hello! I’m a 3rd year CS student, and next semester I’d like to write a research paper (it’d be my first) related to rust, static analysis or programming languages, or even all of them to some degree. Something about functional programming would work as well.

Any ideas of something interesting that I could research and write about?

    I’d love static analysis that finds which functions may panic, which are guaranteed not to. On a related note, it’d be nice to be able to hoist panics out of loops and coalesce multiple consecutive assertions into one (llvm can’t do it, because partially done work is a side effect).
