[Haskell-cafe] Re: OT: Literature on translation of lambda calculus to combinators

Dear all, Dušan Kolář writes:

[...] Could anyone provide a link to some paper/book (electronic version of both preferred, even if not free) that describes an algorithm of translation of untyped lambda calculus expression to a set of combinators? Preferably SKI or BCKW. I'm either feeding google with wrong question or there is no link available now...

13 years ago (ugh...) I've posted a tutorial-style treatment of the compilation of Dave Turner's SASL to SKI. Also addresses reduction and simple optimizations of the resulting SKI programs. http://www-db.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/files/publications/sasl.ps.gz Cheers, —Torsten
