Because of the large number of inquiries I have received on FP references, I am posting a list for those who wish to read more. The best sources of information on FP and related topics are: [1] Backus, John, "Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style? A Functional Style and Its Algebra of Programs", Communications of the ACM, Vol. 21 #8, pp. 613-641, August 1978. [2] Proceedings of the 1981 Conference on Functional Programming Languages and Computer Architecture, ACM order #556810, (approx. $20). [3] Conference Record of the 1982 ACM Symposium on LISP and Functional Programming, ACM order #552820 (approx. $20).
