The Functional Imperative: Shape!

摘要

FiSh is a new programming language for array computation that compiles higher-order polymorphic programs into ismple imperative programs expressed in a sub-language Turbot, which can then be translated into, say, C. Initial tests show that the resulting code is extremely fast: two orders of magnitude faster than HASKELL, and two to four times faster than OBJECTIVE CAML, one of the fastest ML variants for array programming.
