Implementation and Application of Functional Languages

This volume contains the selected peer-reviewed revised articles that were p- st sented at the 21 International Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages (IFL 2009). IFL 2009 was held September 23 25, 2009 at Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ, USA. This version of the IFL symposium marked a milestone by being the ?rst ever to be held in the United States.

Klappentext

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 21st International Workshop on Implementation and Applications of Functional Languages, IFL 2000, held in South Orange, NJ, USA, in September 2009. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and were selected from numerous submissions. The IFL symposia bring together researchers and practitioners that are actively engaged in the implementation and the use of functional and function based programming languages. Every year IFL provides a venue for the presentation and discussion of new ideas and concepts, of work in progress, and of publication-ripe results.
