In computing, Stalin (STAtic Language ImplementatioN) is a programming language, an aggressive optimizing batch whole-program Scheme compiler written by Jeffrey Mark Siskind. It uses advanced data flow analysis and type inference and a variety of other optimization methods to produce code. Stalin is intended for production use in generating an optimized executable. The compiler runs slowly, with little or no support for debugging or other niceties. Full R4RS Scheme is supported, with a few minor and rarely encountered omissions. Interfacing to external C libraries is straightforward. The compiler does lifetime analysis and hence does not generate as much garbage as might be expected, but global reclamation of storage is done using the Boehm garbage collector. The name is a joke: "Stalin brutally optimizes." Stalin is free and open-source software, licensed under a GNU General Public License (GPL), and is available online.

Notable quotes

“As we know, the goal of every struggle is victory. But if the proletariat is to achieve victory, all the workers, irrespective of nationality, must be united. Clearly, the demolition of national barriers and close unity between the Russian, Georgian, Armenian, Polish, Jewish and other proletarians is a necessary condition for the victory of the proletariat of all Russia.”
— from "The Social-Democratic View of the National Question", 1904 (aged 26)
“What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.”
— Speech at The Seventh Enlarged Plenum of the E.C.C.I. (December 1926)
“Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division, and from the antagonism between poor and rich, means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts.”
— Interview with H. G. Wells (September 1937)
“You know, they are fooling us, there is no God.”
— A teenaged Stalin to a fellow student while studying to become a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church, as quoted in Landmarks in the Life of Stalin (1942) by Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, p. 9
“Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs.”
— As quoted in The Memoirs of Stalin's former secretary (1992) by Boris Bazhanov [Saint Petersburg] (in Russian)
“Stop sending assassins to murder me... if this doesn't stop, I will send a man to Moscow and there'll be no need to send any more.”
— Attributed to Tito in "Stalin : Court of the Red Czar" by Simon Sebag-Montefiore, but the ultimate source is Roy Medvedev, who quotes the story in several different versions.
