I am teaching a course on Comparative Programming Languages and would
like to include in the course some actual programming in a functional
language. (Preferably one which handles bottom correctly, allowing
infinite objects, unlike FP, but FP would be okay too). I am searching
for a very simple purely functional language, or one with a simple
subset, easy to learn, with an implementation that will run on a Vax11
under VMS or a Dec2020 under Tops20. If anyone has such a language and
would appreciate (or at least not mind) the exposure, please contact
me either via

Thank you,

ps: the course is this term, so i am interested in getting the
implementation operative by early march.rdg@hpcnoa.UUCP (01/12/84)

I have a pascal program which simulates most of the FP language
defined by Backus in his Turing award Lecture. It would have to
be modified slightly to run on VMS; I believe it handles bottom
correctly.
I would be willing to discuss giving you a copy;
You may call me at 303-226-3800 x2048 if you are interested.
