### Visualizing Graphs and Their Reduction

__A word of caution__: the steps presented below may significantly differ
|
||||||
|
from the actual graph reduction algorithms used by modern compilers.
|
||||||
|
In particular, this section draws a lot of ideas from Simon Peyton Jones' book,
|
||||||
|
[_Implementing functional languages: a tutorial_](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/implementing-functional-languages-a-tutorial/).
|
||||||
|
However, modern functional compilers (i.e. GHC) use a much more
|
||||||
|
complicated abstract machine for evaluating graph-based code,
|
||||||
|
based on -- from what I know -- the [spineless tagless G-machine](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/1992/04/spineless-tagless-gmachine.pdf).
|
||||||
|
In short, this section, in order to build intuition, walks through how a functional program
|
||||||
|
evaluated using graph reduction _may_ behave; the actual details
|
||||||
|
depend on the compiler.
