Stealing from Biologists to Compile Haskell Faster

This article discusses the optimization of the ApplicativeDo algorithm in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC), which is used to improve the performance of Haskell programs. The author presents a new approach to solving the O(n³) complexity problem, inspired by computational biology, and shows that it can reduce the compile-time complexity to Õ(n^2.8244).
