|
Number theory was thought to be mathematically appealing but practically
|
||||||
|
useless until the RSA encryption algorithm demonstrated its considerable
|
||||||
|
utility. I'll outline how combinatory logic (dating back to 1920) has a
|
||||||
|
similarly unexpected application to efficient and effective compilation,
|
||||||
|
which directly catalyzed the development of lazy functional programming
|
||||||
|
languages such as Haskell. The talk is self-contained; no prior knowledge
|
||||||
|
of functional programming is necessary.
