IMO, Nicolas' material is a distraction in understanding reducers, except as historical background.
The reducers library is a rejection/avoidance of the primacy of recursively/generatively defined data structures and the operations thereon. I recommend, rather than reading about stream fusion, one watches the Guy Steele presentation linked from the post: Organizing Functional Code for Parallel Execution or, foldl and foldr Considered Slightly Harmful: http://vimeo.com/6624203 Which boils down to - stop programming with streams, lists, generators etc if you intend to exploit parallelism, which the reducers library does.
