François-René Rideau

François-René Rideau, “Simple Formally Verified DApps—and not just Smart Contracts”, EthCC[3], 2020.

François-René Rideau, Glow Whitepaper”, January 2020.

François-René Rideau et al., Durabo: Unstoppable Message Feeds, 2021

Jay McCarthy and François-René Rideau, “Alacrity: A DSL for Simple, Formally-Verified DApps”, October 2019 (a variant of this paper was presented by Jay McCarthy at DevCon5)

François-René Rideau et al., “Alacris Whitepaper”, July 2019 (first draft completed, never released), also focused on scaling, though with many of the ideas of the language.

François-René Rideau, “Composing Contracts without Special Provisions — using Blockchain History”, Hackernoon, April 2019.

François-René Rideau, “Language Abstraction for Verifiable Blockchain Distributed Applications”, April 2019 (with video from IOHK Summit 2019)

François-René Rideau, “Legicash FaCTS: Fast Cryptocurrency Transactions, Securely”, our original Whitepaper, released March 2018. It focused on a scaling solution that we may some day implement. Some of the underlying ideas included foundations for the techniques used in Glow.

François-René Rideau, Legicash: Binding Blockchains Together through Smart Law, January 2018 (draft, never completed, never released), a document that is difficult to read, with plenty of technical ideas that explore the power and the limits of the analogy between legal contracts and smart contracts.

François-René Rideau, “ASDF 3, or Why Lisp is Now an Acceptable Scripting Language”, European Lisp Symposium, 2014.

François-René Rideau, “LIL: CLOS reaches higher-order, sheds identity, and has a transformative experience”, International Lisp Conference, 2012.

Robert Goldman, and François-René Rideau, “Evolving ASDF: More Cooperation, Less Coordination”, International Lisp Conference, 2010.

François-René Rideau, “XCVB: an eXtensible Component Verifier and Builder for Common Lisp”, International Lisp Conference, 2009.

François-René Rideau, “Metaprogramming and Free Availability of Sources”, January 1999, originally presented in French at “Autour du Libre 1999”.
