  • (Pdf) of from Push/Enter to Eval/Apply by Program Transformation
    From Push/Enter to Eval/Apply by Program Transformation MaciejPir´og JeremyGibbons Department of Computer Science University of Oxford [email protected] [email protected] Push/enter and eval/apply are two calling conventions used in implementations of functional lan- guages. In this paper, we explore the following observation: when considering functions with mul- tiple arguments, the stack under the push/enter and eval/apply conventions behaves similarly to two particular implementations of the list datatype: the regular cons-list and a form of lists with lazy concatenation respectively. Along the lines of Danvy et al.’s functional correspondence between def- initional interpreters and abstract machines, we use this observation to transform an abstract machine that implements push/enter into an abstract machine that implements eval/apply. We show that our method is flexible enough to transform the push/enter Spineless Tagless G-machine (which is the semantic core of the GHC Haskell compiler) into its eval/apply variant. 1 Introduction There are two standard calling conventions used to efficiently compile curried multi-argument functions in higher-order languages: push/enter (PE) and eval/apply (EA). With the PE convention, the caller pushes the arguments on the stack, and jumps to the function body. It is the responsibility of the function to find its arguments, when they are needed, on the stack. With the EA convention, the caller first evaluates the function to a normal form, from which it can read the number and kinds of arguments the function expects, and then it calls the function body with the right arguments.

    Making a Faster Curry with Extensional Types Paul Downen Simon Peyton Jones Zachary Sullivan Microsoft Research Zena M. Ariola Cambridge, UK University of Oregon [email protected] Eugene, Oregon, USA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract 1 Introduction Curried functions apparently take one argument at a time, Consider these two function definitions: which is slow. So optimizing compilers for higher-order lan- guages invariably have some mechanism for working around f1 = λx: let z = h x x in λy:e y z currying by passing several arguments at once, as many as f = λx:λy: let z = h x x in e y z the function can handle, which is known as its arity.

  • Python and Roles of Variables in Introductory Programming: Experiences from Three Educational Institutions
    Journal of Information Technology Education Volume 6, 2007 Python and Roles of Variables in Introductory Programming: Experiences from Three Educational Institutions Uolevi Nikula Jorma Sajaniemi and Matti Tedre, Lappeenranta University of University of Joensuu, Finland Technology, Finland [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Stuart Wray Royal School of Signals, Blandford, England [email protected] Executive Summary Students often find that learning to program is hard. Introductory programming courses have high drop-out rates and students do not learn to program well. This paper presents experiences from three educational institutions where introductory programming courses were improved by adopt- ing Python as the first programming language and roles of variables as an aid in understanding program behavior. As a result of these changes, students were able to write working code from the very beginning, they found programming easy and interesting, they passed exams with good grades, and drop-out rates were low. Students became interested in programming and some of them even changed their personal study plan to include more of programming and computer sci- ence. The high abstraction level and complexity of the concepts to be learned in current elementary programming courses is a serious impediment to students. Python is a simple but powerful pro- gramming language that supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. It makes short programs straightforward to write while at the same time facilitating rapid development of powerful applications. Python has been found to make programming more fun and thus attract students. Some of the common arguments against Python include concerns about using an inter- preted language, the different syntax from C++ and Java, the use of whitespace to represent code blocks, and the lack of static type checking.
