Implementing Haskell's G-Machine in MoonBit

13 Mar 2024CPOL14 min read 2.1K  
This article will delve into the Lazy Evaluation and how to implement Haskell's G-Machine in MoonBit.
Lazy evaluation stands as a foundational concept in the realm of programming languages. Haskell, renowned as a purely functional programming language, boasts a robust lazy evaluation mechanism. This mechanism not only empowers developers to craft code that's both more efficient and concise but also enhances program performance and responsiveness, especially when tackling sizable datasets or intricate data streams. This article will delve into the Lazy Evaluation mechanism, thoroughly examining its principles and implementation methods, and then explore how to implement Haskell's evaluation semantics in MoonBit, a Rust-like language and toolchain optimized for WebAssembly experience.
