A model for comparing the space usage of lazy evaluators
Identifying the source of space faults in functional programs is hard. The problem is compoundedas space usage can vary enormously from one implementation to another. We use a ter...

Unrestricted pure call-by-value recursion
Call-by-value languages commonly restrict recursive definitions by only allowing functions and syntactically explicit values in the right-hand sides. As a consequence, some very a...
