Sorry if this is too off-topic for this list.

I'm a hobbyist programmer and I've recently become interested in lazy functional languages, particularly the optimization strategies available to them during compilation. I've been playing around with Haskell for about a year and it has been an excellent resource for me.

I guess my main question is this: what are the x most compelling directions in optimized compilation for (pure) lazy functional languages in recent research (where x::Nat is an unevaluated thunk in your head)

I'm not qualified to give any advice here, but I sure found Boquist's paper very interesting: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~boquist/phd/ /S -- Sebastian Sylvan +46(0)736-818655 UIN: 44640862
