FP - Functional Programming Language
reference: "Can Programming Be Liberated from the
von Neumann Style? A Functional Style and Its
Algebra of Programs"
- CACM Turing Award Lecture (August 1978)
A first year graduate course that I am taking ("Fundamentals of
Programming Systems") requires two projects to be done in FP. I am finding
the "Berkeley FP Users Manual" inadequate for my needs.
Are there any FP programmers that could suggest a reference of a
tutorial nature? Alternatively, if I had a number of well documented
programs, I could get a feel for the style and the tricks to this language.
Any suggestions, references, hints, comments, ect... that would be helpful
in learning the language would be much appreciated.
Is there any interest in a net exchange on the concepts of this
language? Is it used anywhere? If so to what purpose? What are the good or
bad points?
