Yes, functional side of things is interesting and rarely covered in the standard compilers courses.

There is an old but good book, often overlooked: "Functional Programming" by Anthony J. Field and Peter G. Harrison (1988). Despite the title, it's more about various compilation techniques.

Also an old but still relevant (it is missing the STG, but otherwise full of interesting stuff): http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers...

It also worth following this blog: https://wingolog.org/

I got the 2nd link here before, maybe from you. Might be old but very thorough treatment of about every aspect of functional compilation. I have it saved in djvu and pdf in case I neet someone starting in that area. :)

The other two are new to me. Thanks for those.
