In the first part of the talk, I will present reachability type systems, a family of static type systems to track sharing, separation, and side effects in higher-order imperative programs. Reachability types lead to a smooth combination of Rust-style ownership types with higher-level programming abstractions (such as first-class functions). In the second part, I will discuss how metaprogramming techniques can help build correct, flexible, and performant program analyzers. I will present GenSym, a parallel symbolic-execution compiler that is derived from a high-level definitional symbolic interpreter using program generation techniques. GenSym generates code in continuation-passing style to perform parallel symbolic execution of LLVM IR programs, and significantly outperforms similar state-of-the-art tools. The talk also covers my future research plan to apply reachability types in designing languages for quantum computing.&lt;/p&gt;
