by Alexander Stepanov, Paul McJones
Publisher: Semigroup Press 2019
ISBN-13: 9780578222141
Number of pages: 279
Description:
This book applies the deductive method to programming by affiliating programs with the abstract mathematical theories that enable them to work. Specification of these theories, algorithms written in terms of these theories, and theorems and lemmas describing their properties are presented together.

The Design and Implementation of Probabilistic Programming Languagesby Noah D. Goodman, Andreas Stuhlmüller - dippl.org
This book explains how to implement PPLs by lightweight embedding into a host language. We illustrate this by designing WebPPL, a small PPL embedded in Javascript. We show how to implement several algorithms for universal probabilistic inference.
