Experience with an Applicative String Processing Language

James H. Morris Jr., Eric Schmidt, Philip Wadler

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract / Description of output

Experience using and implementing the language Poplar is described. The major conclusions are: Applicative programming can be made more natural through the use of built-in iterative operators and post-fix notation. Clever evaluation strategies, such as lazy evaluation, can make applicative programming more computationally efficient. Pattern matching can be performed in an applicative framework. Many problems remain.
