For those wondering, this is Mark Miller, you probably know him from JavaScript as he invented promises and wrote the prototype for the popular Q library before Kris made it more ergonomic.

Edit: this is also a nice read http://www.erights.org/talks/thesis/

Some of his current work is about allowing safe execution in JavaScript, see: https://github.com/FUDCo/proposal-frozen-realms/ and http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~ataly/Papers/sp11.pdf
