Special Issue on Run-Time Systems and Target Platforms for Functional Languages
Submission Deadline: 30 June 2013. Expected Publication Date: May 2014 Submission via: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4220 The Journal of Functional Programming will devote a special issue to implementation concerns, in particular, compilation and run-time techniques for the entire spectrum of target platforms, whether constructed in support of functional languages or not. Today's implementations of functional languages target a wide variety of platforms: machine code on traditional architectures, virtual machines designed to support functional languages, others of a more generic nature (such as the Java Virtual Machine and the .NET Common Language Infrastructure), embedded systems and GPUs, JavaScript, and others. The purpose of this special issue is to collect ideas on how implementations of functional languages bridge the gap between this variety of target platforms and their own world. Language implementors are invited to submit papers describing the current state of the art in code generation for functional languages with a special focus on the target architectures.
