"Advanced Symta" - Nikita Sadkov

Where are these books?!

Nikita, write and publish!

I'm not telling which one I wrote, but its one of the ones that passes thunks as the x arguments and captures local references when constructing B. That's all you need to be able to do to solve the problem anyway.

passes thunks
Basically Algol emulation.

>>42
if anyone wrote algol today we would call them thunks in algol too

>>43
You don't call them thunks in Algol, the same way you don't call everything "a thing", because every Algol's expression is a thunk.

so you agree it's not incorrect even if it is redundant

saying "emulating algol" of other languages almost always is

Local variables of routines are often kept in activation records (also call frames). In many languages, these records are kept on a call stack.

the need to emulate algol only exists in languages that don't use frames natively, and you'll see an environment pointer being passed around

virtually none of the implementations on that page take that option

Algol is an ancient shitty language, thunks weren't even invented then.

>>47
yes they were, without them algol can't pass the man or boy test

Think of Algol as of Haskell predecessor - a completely useless experimental language, used to write academic papers about impractical concepts.

Back then Algol was simplified to CPL, which was simplified to BCPL, then B, which itself ended up as C.

All because efficient Algol compiler is impossible, due to unusual evaluation strategy, and the compiler itself was enormously complex. They had to implement intermediate languages, like CPL, to implement the slow 1 byte per second Algol compiler.

Don't miss this, Nikita:

http://ruhaskell.org/

It's the Russian community of Haskell users. We know you love Haskell. You'll fit right in there and find many new friends.

Fun fact: official Russian translation of the Gentle Introduction to Haskell is called «Мягкое введение в хаскелл», which has VERY clear sexual connotations (literally: soft insertion into Haskell)

You know that all your possible children from her will be Jewish, right, Nikita?
