What is the current state of affairs with supercompilation?

Hi. I became intrigued with supercompilation; what is the current state of affairs with it? I know that there exist experimental supercompilers for Java and REFAL. I know of the existence of jhc and its follower lhc, although I don't know quite well what they can and what they can't. I know that ghc is probably going to have a supercompiler inside. I, again, don't know how broads the plans are. I'm mainly interested in the following: - What supercompilers do exist, except for the ones mentioned above? - What academic organizations do research in the area? - What papers should be read by someone eager to learn about supercompilation and maybe to make research contributions? - What are some solved problems and some open problems in supercompilation? -- Eugene Kirpichov Web IR developer, market.yandex.ru
