  FL programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FL (short for Function Level) is a programming language created at the IBM Almaden Research Center by John Backus, John Williams, and Edward Wimmers in 1989.
FL was designed as a successor of Backus' earlier FP programming language, providing specific support for what Backus termed function-level programming.
FL is a dynamically typed strict functional language with throw and catch exception semantics much like in ML.

 Software Reality
New languages must compete with older languages; if they are general purpose, functional, expressive and marketed then they stand a chance of being adopted.
Given the history of language evolution, the shift from C to C++ marked a requirement for extensive libraries to be made available.
Like Dr. Stroustrup says in his book,"A general purpose language will never be the best one for a specialized area", there are trade-offs and wiser is the IT manager who can analize and decide which programming language is going to be used for a specific project.

Since programming languages are artificial languages, they require a high degree of discipline to accurately specify which operations are desired.
Programming languages are not error tolerant; however, the burden of recognizing and using the special vocabulary is reduced by help messages generated by the programming language implementation.
There are a few languages which offer a high degree of freedom in allowing self-modification in which a program re-writes parts of itself to handle new cases.

 Using Computer Programming to Promote Learning by Computers
Programming is not one of the easier Mindtools to use, although a program such as BASIC is a good place to start [Bishop, 1988].
One of the concerns with using computer programming as a Mindtool is that students will need to spend so much time learning the programming language that transference will not take place.
Let’s say they’ve decided they can learn about films by designing a program that finds out, based on certain prompts, how much a person knows about movies in general and what his or her favorite movie is. The students will write and structure the program to prompt the user for this information.

It is well understood that there is something of a dichotomy between "general" programming languages on the one hand and "domain-specific" languages on the other.
For this discussion, we use the term "general" in a broad and loose sense, to include functional programming languages and possibly even logic programming languages, to the extent to which they are usable as a general programming tool.

FP84 is an extension of Backus FP programming language to include infinite sequences, programmer-defined combining forms (analogous to those that Backus himself added to FL (programming language), his successor to FP), and lazy evaluation.
Unlike FFP (programming language), another one of Backus own variations on FP, FP84 makes a clear distinction between objects and functions: i.e., the latter are no longer represented by sequences of the former.
FP84s semantics is embodied in an underlying Programs as mathematical objects, this is, a set of function-level (programming) equalities that may be used to manipulate and to reason about programs.

With languages such as Java or C# you're more likely to be able to get down the basics of object orientated design without having to worry about wrestling with the language quirks.
I think the biggest disadvantage is that some people get too comfortable with the authoring system they choose and are reluctant to expand their horizons and learn a more challenging language language later, even when the authoring system isn't well suited to what they want to accomplish.
When you're just starting out, though, learning a new programming language is tied up with learning to program, which makes your first language much more difficult to learn than your second.
