The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages (Hardback)
From the blurb:
'The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages provides a detailed description of the implementation of a high-level functional programming language using graph reduction.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I, Compiling High-level Functional Languages, describes the translation of a high-level functional lnaguage into an intermediate language, the lambda calculus. Part II, Graph Reduction, begins with a simple implementation of the lambda calculus, based on graphic reduction, and then develops a number of refinements and alterantives, such as supercombinators and full laziness. Part III, Advanced Graphi Reduction, describes the G-machine, a sophisticated implementatino of graph reduction, which allows adramatic increase in performance over implementations described earlier int he book.'
