Extract

Production systems have successfully made the transition from a trendy research idea to a routinely used programming paradigm. An important cause of this transition has been the several orders of magnitude speedup in program execution achieved in the past few years by the combination of better match algorithms, efficient compilation techniques and faster hardware platforms.
