A 100 year history of hardware for functional languages

[Rob Stewart]

Hi everyone,

To get this mailing list started, I've curated a timeline of hardware architectures specialised  for functional languages. 100 years, from the foundations of Curry and Church, to modern Xilinx UltraScale+ programmable hardware.

https://haflang.github.io/history.html

This work is in the context of our EPSRC HAFLANG project at Heriot-Watt University.

Feedback welcome!

Best wishes,

Rob

Rob this is really cool! I'll pass it on to my colleagues. Students are always asking me for a resource like this so I can't wait to point them to it when they ask!

I might suggest to also add my colleagues' work, Zarf and Bouncer, which featured a two-part machine where one part had a purely functional ISA: https://www.arch.cs.ucsb.edu/zarf

Thanks,

Jon
