The Journal of Functional Programming will devote a special issue to
implementation concerns, in particular, compilation and run-time techniques
for the entire spectrum of target platforms, whether constructed in support
of functional languages or not.

Today's implementations of functional languages target a wide variety of
platforms: machine code on traditional architectures, virtual machines
designed to support functional languages, others of a more generic nature
(such as the Java Virtual Machine and the .NET Common Language
Infrastructure), embedded systems and GPUs, JavaScript, and others.  The
purpose of this special issue is to collect ideas on how implementations of
functional languages bridge the gap between this variety of target
platforms and their own world.

Language implementors are invited to submit papers describing the current
state of the art in code generation for functional languages with a special
focus on the target architectures.
