Functional (54)
Functional programming is a style of programming emphasizing evaluating expressions, rather than executing commands. Functional languages are those supporting and encouraging programming in a functional style, where expressions are formed by using functions to combine basic values.
On this page, languages are arranged in three groups and levels: 1) Top group: issues spanning multiple unrelated languages. 2) Middle group: types or classes of languages. 3) Bottom group: specific languages, with their own directory category.

ICFP 2002
· cached · The 2002 International Conference on Functional Programming covers the entire spectrum of functional programming, from practice to theory, and from established functional programming languages (Scheme, ML, Haskell) to novel language designs and to the functional aspects of object-oriented or concurrent languages. October 4-6, 2002 Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Why Functional Programming Matters
· cached · John Hughes paper, dates from 1984, circulated as a Chalmers memo.
Tutorial Papers in Functional Programming
· cached · John Hughes' list of FP-related tutorials and courses.
Cayenne
· cached · A Haskell-like language with a powerful type system based on dependent types.
Aldor
· cached · Originally an extension to Axiom, now a separate product. Binaries are available free for non-profit use, with documentation, tips, projects and links.
OPAL Project
· cached · Researches programming environment where advanced language concepts and formal development methods are used to make production-quality software. Strongly typed, higher-order, strict, pure FL; so can be classed with ML, Haskell, and other modern FLs. But also has unique algebraic flavor in the tradition of languages such as CIP-L, and Obj.
Readscheme.org - Resources for Functional Programming
· cached · A variety of research resources on functional programming languages, implementation, and applications of functional programming languages.
Rita Loogen
· cached · Member of Eden team. Articles.
Joy
· cached · Pure functional language based on function composition rather than application; concatenative language, very like Forth, inputs and outputs stacks, but with higher-level data types and sound mathematical foundation. [Open Source, BSD]
FAQ for comp.lang.functional
· cached · Offers documentation as a frequently asked questions list. Also provides links to general topic, technical and other resources.
Hope
· cached · A small functional programming language, with polymorphic typing, algebraic types, pattern matching and higher-order functions.
Functional Programming
· cached · Claus Reinke's , well organized bookmarks on FP.
FISh
· cached · A novel functional language that claims to be faster than C in some cases.
Functional Programming in the Real World
· cached · Includes a brief review of REBOL from a functional programming perspective.
Wadler: Monads
· cached · Information on monads and functional programming
Charity
· cached · Functional, categorical language, by University of Calgary, Canada. Innovative organization: based on theory of strong categorical datatypes divided into 2 subclasses: inductive (built up by constructors in the familiar way), and coinductive (broken down by destructors).
Afnix Programming Language
· cached · A multi-threaded functional programming language with dynamic symbol bindings which provides a state of art runtime engine for 32- and 64-bit platform and a rich set of platform independent libraries, compatible with C++ runtime operations, automatic protection engine for shared objects. Successor of Aleph.
CDuce
· iweb · cached · A typed, functional programming language adapted to the manipulation of XML documents.
Wikipedia: Functional Programming
· Encyclopdia article including a definition, comparison, history, and examples.
NESL: A Parallel Programming Language
· cached · Parallel functional language developed at Carnegie Mellon, SCandAL project. Most important new ideas: nested data parallelism, language based performance model.
Arbol
· cached · Functional language developed mainly for Genetic Programming experiments. Inspired by ideas of other small, esoteric languages (Unlambda, Lazy K, Joy, Iota, Zot, ...), and pure functional Haskell.
Eden
· cached · Parallel functional language to program reactive systems and parallel algorithms using distributed memory. Extends Haskell, but overrules lazy evaluation whenever needed to support parallelism; gives enough control to implement parallel algorithms efficiently, no need for low level details of process management.
What the Hell are Monads?
· cached · Basic introduction to monads, monadic programming, and I/O.
PLAN: A Packet Language for Active Networks
· Resource-bounded functional language that uses a form of remote procedure call to realize active networking. Part of the SwitchWare Project. Descriptions, documents, downloads, contacts, links.
Pizza
· cached · A variant of Java that adds parametric polymorphism, first-class functions, and class cases and pattern matching to the language. The compiler compiles into Java byte code so the binaries can be run on a normal JVM. [Freeware]
Links: Linking Theory to Practice for the Web
· cached · Functional language to solve impedance mismatch problem by using one language for all 3 tiers of web programming: front-end browser, middle-tier server, back-end database; people, mail lists, papers, talks, wiki, downloads.
Q Equational Programming Language
· cached · An extensible functional programming language based on the term rewriting calculus.
The Unlambda Programming Language
· cached · Minimalistic functional language based on the Lambda calculus but lacking the Lambda operator. Tutorial, reference, GPLed interpreters available.
Kahu Research
· cached · Makes Mondrian, light Haskell version to interoperate with other languages in OO environments; runs on .NET (old version for JVM), supports ASP.NET, to embed functional code in webpages with C#. Has version of Glasgow Haskell Compiler using Mondrian for .NET to compile Haskell for .NET.
The Rise of Functional Languages
· iweb · cached · Brief article, explains what they are, and how and why their popularity is growing; with links and reader comments. Linux Journal.
Cat
· cached · Functional stack-based language inspired by Joy; main differences: Cat has static typing with type inferencing (like ML, Haskell), and term rewriting macro language extension language, MetaCat. Open-source, public domain.
BitC Language Specification
· cached · BitC is a systems programming language that combines the low level nature of C with the semantic rigor of Scheme or ML.
Lemon
· iweb · cached · Functional language with inductive and coinductive types. Based on simply-typed lambda calculus augmented with sums, products, and mu and nu constructors for least (inductive) and greatest (coinductive) solutions to recursive type equations.
