I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'm putting this out there at any rate:
I'd be interested in a deep dive into STG and related shenanigans "within the compiler", since my understanding is that a decent amount has changed since the last paper on STG (eval/apply). This is out of an interest in understanding STG as-it-lives within GHC so I can get back to simplexhc(https://github.com/bollu/simplexhc), a pet project of mine. I meant to take some time and read through the GHC internals in this area, but college coursework does not really facilitate deep meditation about the GHC codebase ;) Would someone be willing to help with this?
