| | Functional programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions. | | | Functions are treated as first-class values, which is to say that functions can be parameters or inputs to other functions and can be the return values or outputs of a function. | | | A much-improved functional programming language was LISP, developed by John McCarthy while at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the IBM 700/7000 series scientific computers in the late 1950s. |

| | FPLE: Functional Programming Languages in Education |
| | Functional languages are gathering momentum in education because they facilitate the expression of concepts and structures at a high level of abstraction. | | | Functional languages are to be understood here in a broad sense, including lazy and strict functional languages, languages with a powerful functional subset and algebraic specification formalisms. | | | This covers important areas, such as algorithms and data structures, compiler construction, computer architecture, data base systems, computer graphics, mathematics, problem solving and the semantics of programming languages. |

| | GIML: Introduction to Functional Programming |
| | Functional languages are considered, by their devotees, to be higher level than third generation languages. | | | Functional languages are particularly well suited to parallel processing - several research projects have demonstrated superior performance on parallel machines. | | | A declarative language is one which the programmer declares what the problem is; the execution of the program is a low level concern. |

| | Functional languages are gathering momentum in education because they facilitate the expression of concepts and structures at a high level of abstraction. | | | Many university computing science departments now make use of functional programming in their undergraduate courses; indeed, a number of departments teach a functional language as their first programming language. | | | Functional programming is a style of programming that emphasizes the evaluation of expressions, rather than execution of commands. |

| | Functional languages |
| | Functional languages are referentially transparent and have no state. | | | These languages try to gain parallelism by performing computations in parallel before their results are known to be required. | | | Dataflow languages are single-assignment languages, the idea being to execute them in a data-driven manner on (usually) special-purpose hardware. |

| | About Haskell |
| | O2Query is probably the most sophisticated commercially-available object-oriented database query language and it is a functional language. | | | The language in which the engineers describe their design is functional, and it uses lazy evaluation extensively to avoid recomputing parts of the design which are not currently visible on the screen. | | | In Haskell a function is a first-class citizen: it can freely be passed to other functions, returned as the result of a function, stored in a data structure, and so on. |

| | All computation is the result of applying functions to the results of other functions. | | | But with every different language I've learned the insights provided into computation and problem solving can be applied regardless of the language being used. | | | Functions are first class objects: they can be passed to and returned from functions. |

| | That suggests that assembler language was and still is constructive to viewing the problem in a different light, than when you use just a high-level language and that mixed language approach to programming might be better than a monolithic approach. | | | A program of a given functionality will take longer to develop in assembler than in a higher-level language, so less time is available for design and performance tuning. | | | Programming language is just a tool and in no way one should use the only tool for a complex project. |

| | Functional Logic Programming |
| | Functional logic programming aims to amalgamate the most important declarative programming paradigms, namely functional programming and logic programming. | | | In comparison with pure logic languages, functional logic languages have a more efficient operational behavior since functions provide for more efficient evaluation strategies (lazy evaluation, deterministic reductions) than predicates. | | | In comparison with pure functional languages, functional logic languages have more expressive power due to the availability of features like function inversion, partial data structures, existential variables, and non-deterministic search. |

| | Simon Peyton Jones: book |
| | The Core language is designed to be as small as possible, so that it is easy to implement, but still rich enough to allow modern non-strict functional languages to be translated into it without losing efficiency. | | | One important way in which the Core language is restrictive is in its lack of local function definitions. | | | The principal content of the book is a series of implementations of a small functional language called the Core language. |
