In the theory of programming languages in computer science, deforestation (also known as fusion) is a program transformation to eliminate tree structures.
The term "deforestation" was originally coined by Philip Wadler in his paper "Deforestation: transforming programs to eliminate trees"[1].
Deforestation is typically applied to programs in functional programming languages, particularly non-strict programming languages such as Haskell. One particular algorithm for deforestation, shortcut deforestation[2], is implemented in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler.[3]
