  A very thorough explanation! Love the usage of graphs to understand the relationship between two points in the code. Would you say this was made easier by the STG and more generally the graph-reduction paradigm?
  • gulinss 2y ago
    Exactly! STG, being a "graph reduction machine," inherently makes it easier to understand the relationships between parts of code by representing programs as graphs. Here, I simply reversely translated the generated graph from JavaScript and pushed it into a visual graphical form to make the analysis more intuitively accessible. I suppose we could have a tool which does such graphical representation automatically for STG, generated from Haskell but I was need to measure its volume in JavaScript form. That's why I was needed to reconstruct it back from JavaScript.
