The talk investigates some of the connections between functional languages design, semantics and the optimization techniques that can consequently be performed.
During the past 30 years Haskell showed us non-strict functional languages can also be fast, sometimes as fast as imperative counterparts. We are going to have a deeper look into what a strict/non-strict functional language is and how this trait intimately relates to the optimization techniques that can be performed, as well as some tricks used in GHC in order to overcome the downsides.
