===================================================================

Workshop Overview

The series of RocqPL (formerly CoqPL[1]) workshops provide an opportunity for programming languages researchers and practitioners with an interest in Rocq to meet and interact with one another and members from the core Rocq development team. At the meeting, we will discuss upcoming new features, see talks and demonstrations of exciting current projects, solicit feedback for potential future changes to Rocq itself, and generally work to strengthen the vibrant community around our favorite proof assistant.

Topics in scope include:

  • Formalizations of PL research in Rocq
  • General purpose libraries and tactic language extensions
  • Domain-specific libraries for programming language formalization and verification
  • IDEs, profilers, tracers, debuggers, and testing tools
  • Reports on ongoing proof efforts conducted via (or in the context of) the Rocq proof assistant
  • Experience reports from Rocq usage in educational or industrial contexts

Workshop Format

The workshop format will be driven by you, members of the community. We will solicit abstracts for talks and proposals for demonstrations and flesh out format details based on responses. We expect the final program to include experiment reports, panel discussions, and invited talks (details TBA). Talks will be selected according to relevance to the workshop, based on the submission of an extended abstract.

To foster open discussion of cutting edge research which can later be published in full conference proceedings, we will not publish papers from the workshop. However, presentations may be recorded and the videos may be made publicly available.

  1. The Coq theorem prover officially changed its name to the Rocq theorem prover in March 2025; we have updated the name of the workshop from CoqPL to RocqPL to reflect this change. ↩︎
