Abstract

Both functional and conventional languages have their advantages and flaws. For this reason, it is often useful to combine good sides of both languages in single application. The possibility to call conventional functions from functional programs will couple elegance of functional programs with efficiency of conventional programs. The paper describes one possible way of communication between pure functional language LispKit LISP and conventional language Modula-2, involving coroutines.

This paper summarizes my experience in implementing a compiler for a functional language. The language is ML(1) [Milner 84] and the compiler was first implemented in 1980 as a personal project when I was a postgraduate student at the University of ...
Revisiting coroutines

This article advocates the revival of coroutines as a convenient general control abstraction. After proposing a new classification of coroutines, we introduce the concept of full asymmetric coroutines and provide a precise definition for it through an ...
