Achyut,
As I am sure everyone else on this list is sick of hearing, I have a book
that will be coming out soon that can help explain many of your questions.
It has a chapter explaining some of the differences between the interactive
backends and how backends work, in general. The book is in the prefinal
stage right now and will be going to the printer in the next week (I hope!).
Stay tuned to this page for updates:

Cheers!
