How to Go Eff Without a Hitch: On Efficient Compilation from Eff to OCaml
In the light of algorithmic, as well as performance-related challenges in Eff-compilation, we introduce the implementation of an explicit type-and-effect system into the Eff-compiler, as described by Saleh et al. Thus, the way is cleared for a more efficient compilation to languages with a native effect system. We leverage this implementation to increase performance of compilation to languages without a native effect system as well. Karachalias et al. propose such a translation, which however does not seamlessly fit into the current state of the compiler. We describe the issues faced in integrating that translation, as well as a preliminary implementation.
