Towards modular compilers for effects (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Day, L., & Hutton, G. Towards modular compilers for effects. Presented at International Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (12th)

Compilers are traditionally factorised into a number of separate phases, such as parsing, type checking, code generation, etc. However, there is another potential factorisation that has received comparatively little attention: the treatment of separa...
