Promoting non-strict programming
Olaf Chitil
In Draft Proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages, IFL 2006, pages 512-516, Budapest, Hungary, September 2006. Eotvos Lorand University.Abstract
In a non-strict functional programming language functions that yield the same result for all total arguments can still differ for partial arguments, that is, they differ in their strictness. Here a Haskell library is presented that enables the programmer to easily check whether a given function is least-strict; if it is not least-strict, then the tool suggests how to make it less strict.
