Abstract

The Plaid language introduces native support for state abstractions and state change. While efficient language implementation typically relies on stable object members, state change alters members at runtime. We built a JavaScript compilation target with a novel state representation, which enables fast member access. Cross-language performance comparisons are used for evaluation.
