The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages

My 1987 book is now out of print, but it is now available online in its entirety.

I owe a massive debt of thanks to Marnie Montgomery (marniem@patriot.net), who made this possible.

• Read it using your web browser:
  • Read it online. This downloads just the page you are reading.
  • Download it to read locally (30Mbytes).

  In either case, note the following:

  • The big arrows, at the top left and right of each page, move backward and forward one page.
  • The table of contents is clickable. You can get to the table of contents by clicking the link displayed at the top of each page.
  • The index is not (yet) clickable. You can get to the index by clicking the link displayed at the top of each page.
  • There is no way (yet) to go to a particular page number; use the TOC as your entry point.

• Download a DJVU file to read locally DJVU (6Mbytes). You can perform text searches on this version, which is extremely useful. (You can get a free DJVU viewer from http://www.lizardtech.com/.) A big thank-you to Ivan Boldyrev for doing the original DJVU conversion, and Barak Pearlmutter for making the searchable version.

• Download a single PDF file to read locally: PDF (41.5Mbytes), Gzipped PDF (still 40.1Mbytes). Much bigger than the DJVU, but you don't need a DJVU viewer. Thanks to Johan Glimming for making this download.

I'd be interested to know who uses this resource, if only to tell Marnie how many people have used her work. Drop me a line!
