....itself is given a formal meaning as well) The size and complexity of the semantics is such that fully formal use of it, e.g. to prove correctness of an optimizing transformation, would be quite a difficult task. An encouraging start in this direction, using the HOL theorem prover, is described in [VG94], MG94] The idea of building a fully fledged specification and formal development framework around a real programming language seems to be novel to EML. Somewhat related is work on the Anna language for annotating Ada programs with assertions concerning their intended behaviour [LHKO87] but ....
