Try this: http://blog.ezyang.com/2011/05/anatomy-of-a-thunk-leak/ http://blog.ezyang.com/2011/05/anatomy-of-a-thunk-leak/ and particularly this: http://blog.ezyang.com/2011/05/an-insufficiently-lazy-map/ http://blog.ezyang.com/2011/05/an-insufficiently-lazy-map/ One point I'd like to mention: just because it seems complex and intimidating for beginners/outsiders does not mean it is intractable for experienced programmers.
