Description

Traditional implementation techniques for functional languages often struggle with the repetition of work. Methods based on supercombinators, environments, or continuations frequently fail to manage sharing effectively, which can lead to a catastrophic and exponential explosion in reduction time. This book addresses these fundamental challenges by exploring optimal reduction. Introduced by Lamping in 1990, optimal reduction is an innovative graph reduction technique designed to solve the sharing problem in functional expressions. As the first comprehensive account on this subject, this volume provides an in-depth look at the theory and practical implementation aspects of the field. Written by two of the leading exponents of the technology, it serves as a definitive resource for those studying theoretical computer science and advanced programming language implementation. Whether you are researching graph reduction or looking to understand how to avoid inefficient execution in functional languages, this text provides the necessary technical foundation.
