---

A computation is incremental if repeating it with a changed input is faster than from-scratch recomputation. Incremental computations are ubiquitous in everyday computer systems.

Adapton offers programming language abstractions for incremental computation.

Code

Latest: This is the latest implementation of Adapton:

• Adapton for OCaml

Legacy: These were the two first implementations of Adapton:

• Adapton for OCaml (legacy, circa 2014)
• Adapton for Python (legacy, circa 2014)

Coming soon:

• Adapton for Rust
• Adapton for Racket
