Hi, I'm looking for a handy reference to a *SURVEY ARTICLE*, the kind that appears in Computing Surveys or even a listing as in SIGPLAN Notices, on abstract machines for functional language implementations. Preferably a recent one that covers the various kinds of abstract machines. ("The next 700 functional abstract machines" ?) Please note I am not looking for references to articles/papers etc on individual abstract machines like Turner's combinator machine, or Landin's SECD or the spineless, tagless G-machine etc. I am looking for a "meta-reference"; one which you would, say, hand a grad student who was interested in functional language implementations, or a pointer you could give to a reader for background knowledge on implementation techniques. Thanks, Sanjiva Please reply by e-mail to sanjiva@oracorp.com
