Marc showed us how to write a simple Scheme to C compiler, in Scheme. In only 90 minutes! And although not supporting the whole Scheme standard, the compiler supports fully optimized proper tail calls, continuations, and (of course) full closures. The compiler is implemented using two important compilation techniques for functional languages: closure conversion and CPS-conversion.

Many people are accustomed to imperative languagues, which include C, C++, Java, Python, and Pascal. For computer science students, Haskell is weird and obtuse. This tutorial assumes that the reader is familiar with C/C++, Python, Java, or Pascal. I am writing for you because it seems that no other tutorial was written to help students overcome the difficulty of moving from C/C++, Java, and the like to Haskell. I write this assuming that you have checked out the Gentle Introduction to Haskell, but still don't understand what's going on.

I have recently convinced one of my friends to learn Haskell. But, he finds it very difficult. He is making a big effort and really wants to learn it but the beginning is hard and he may have spent too much time writing Java code. So, to help him, I have written a short Haskell study plan.

For XSLT to be successful it must be presented and used in a way that adopts those attributes discussed earlier (reuse of knowledge, fast start, and gradualism).

Is Haskell's laziness actually a Good Thing? In writing code to process large data sets in Haskell I've come across more instances where laziness has been harmful than instances when it is beneficial. When everything needs processing and all calculations will be used, laziness just means that programs take up extortionate amounts of heap space while they delay all computation until the last minute. This is a review of some of the processes I've been using to deal with the problems caused by processing large amounts of data, for my own reference, and for anyone else who would like similar help, as this is not usually found in the Haskell textbooks.

This tutorial introduces the libelf library in FreeBSD -CURRENT. It shows how this library can be used to create tools that can manipulate ELF objects for native and non-native architectures.

The gap between real-life compilers and the educational toy compilers is too wide. The novice compiler writer stands puzzled facing an impenetrable barrier, “better write an interpreter instead.” The goal of this paper is to break that barrier.

These web pages provide a practical introduction to lambda reduction, with a few pointers to more esoteric issues. I'm a linguist, and I have linguists in mind for my audience, so linguistic issues will be emphasized (e.g., a discussion of the interaction of lambda with other binding operators such as ∃ "exists" and ∀ "forall").
