Arbol
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.
Wikipedia: Functional Programming
Encyclopdia article including a definition, comparison, history, and examples.
Links: Linking Theory to Practice for the Web
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.
Functional Programming in the Real World
Lists functional programs written primarily to perform to real-world tasks. Has pure programs (no side effects) and impure (some use of side effects). Languages: Caml, Clean, Erlang, Haskell, Miranda, Scheme, Standard ML.
Wadler: Monads
Information on monads and functional programming
ICFP 2002
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.
Mondrian
A simple functional scripting language for Internet applications.
FISh
A novel functional language that claims to be faster than C in some cases.
The Pizza Compiler
Java extension with functional features: generics (parametric polymorphism), function pointers (first-class (higher-order) functions), class cases and pattern matching (algebraic (data)types).
Charity
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).
Q Equational Programming Language
An extensible functional programming language based on the term rewriting calculus.
Readscheme.org - Resources for Functional Programming
A variety of research resources on functional programming languages, implementation, and applications of functional programming languages.
OPAL Project
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.
What the Hell are Monads?
Basic introduction to monads, monadic programming, and I/O.
Afnix Programming Language
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.
Aldor
Functional language in which types are first class values. Normal functions returning types reproduce the features of template classes of other languages. Links to many projects around the world based on Aldor.
BitC Language Specification
BitC is a systems programming language that combines the low level nature of C with the semantic rigor of Scheme or ML.
Cat
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.
CDuce
An XML centric programming language with higher order, semantic subtyping, pattern matching and overloading, and open source implementation.
Lemon
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.
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.
Cayenne
A Haskell-like language with a powerful type system based on dependent types.
Why Functional Programming Matters
John Hughes paper, dates from 1984, circulated as a Chalmers memo.
Tutorial Papers in Functional Programming
John Hughes' list of FP-related tutorials and courses.
NESL: A Parallel Programming Language
Parallel functional language developed at Carnegie Mellon, SCandAL project. Most important new ideas: nested data parallelism, language based performance model.
Functional Programming
Claus Reinke's , well organized bookmarks on FP.
FAQ for comp.lang.functional
Offers documentation as a frequently asked questions list. Also provides links to general topic, technical and other resources.
Joy
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]
The Rise of Functional Languages
Brief article, explains what they are, and how and why their popularity is growing; with links and reader comments. Linux Journal.
The Unlambda Programming Language
A functional language designed for obscurity
Eden
Parallel functional language to program reactive systems and parallel algorithms using distributed memory. Extends Haskell, but overrules lazy evaluation whenever needed to support parallelism.
Rita Loogen
Member of Eden team. Articles.
Hope
A small functional programming language, with polymorphic typing, algebraic types, pattern matching and higher-order functions.
