Commentary by cpressey on Partial Evaluation works

Tutorial on Online Partial Evaluation

The introductory articles on partial evaluation are okay, but you can find ones that are at least as good elsewhere, I'm sure; the other articles are mostly about applications and as such seem to have mostly historical interest now.

Tutorial notes on partial evaluation

A bit dated, but some useful information in this short survey paper. Surely many of the practical applications of "online partial evaluation" have been overtaken by just-in-time (JIT) compilation.
