Title: From Curry to Haskell: Paths to Abstraction in Programming Languages.
Authors: Cardone, Felice1 (AUTHOR) felice.cardone@unito.it
Source: Philosophy & Technology. Mar2021, Vol. 34 Issue 1, p57-74. 18p.
Subject Terms: *Mathematical logic, Programming languages, Curries
Abstract: We expose some basic elements of a style of programming supported by functional languages like Haskell by relating them to a coherent set of notions and techniques from Curry's work in combinatory logic and formal systems, and their algebraic and categorical interpretations. Our account takes the form of a commentary to a simple fragment of Haskell code attempting to isolate the conceptual sources of the linguistic abstractions involved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
