	Functional programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Functional programming appears to be missing several constructs often (though incorrectly) considered essential to an imperative language such as C or Pascal.
		Functional languages have remained largely the domain of academics and hobbyists, and what little inroads have been made are due to impure functional languages such as Erlang and Common Lisp.
		Higher-order functions were studied in the lambda calculus theory well before the notion of functional programming existed and are present the design of a number of functional programming languages, such as Scheme and Haskell.

	Functional programming - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Currying is a technique for rewriting a function with multiple parameters as a function with one parameter that maps to another function of one parameter and so on until all parameters are exhausted.
		Higher-order functions were studied in the lambda calculus theory long before the notion of functional programming existed, and have influenced the design of several functional programming languages, such as Haskell, and have even spawned the function-level programming paradigm, which includes languages such as Backus' FP.
		As modern imperative languages and their implementations have started to include greater emphasis on correctness, rather than raw speed, and the implementations of functional languages have begun to emphasise speed as well as correctness, the performance of functional languages and imperative languages has begun to converge.

	Functional Programming
		Functional programming languages are the result of both abstracting and generalizing the data type of maps.
		Functional programming dispenses with the assignment command freeing the programmer from the rigidly sequential mode of thought required with the assignment command.
		Functional programming languages are called applicative since the functions are applied to their arguments, declarative and non-procedural since the definitions specify what is computed and not how it is computed.

	Functional Programming Languages and Data Types
		Functional programming languages and executable algebraic specification languages do have a number of features in common.
		Functions are not restricted to ``normal'' data types, they can take functions as inputs and return a function as a result.
		In common with most modern programming languages, Miranda has facilities which support data types and one such feature is the so-called ``algebraic type''.

	Object-Oriented Software Design and Programming [encyclopedia] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Object-oriented programming is a method of software implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationship.
		Functions and structures are not formally connected in C. A C function can operate on more than one type of structure, and more than one function can operate on the same structure.
		C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias towards systems programming, that supports low-level programming in traditional styles, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming.

	Functional programming languages
		A functional or applicative language is one in which the computational model is that of expression evaluation.
		If a procedural language like Modula-2 or Ada was stripped of all its statements, its variables, its arrays it would be close to a functional language, but a very weak one.
		Actually functional programs often interact with files and other parts of their environment but how this is fitted into the simple functional model is quite problematic.

		The functional language that is probably being most used in industry is Erlang, a functional language with concurrent processes.
		The main reason to use functional languages for this class of application is the very straightforward parallelization of functional programs, which was hoped to outweigh the loss of efficiency that functional program often experience from their more costly evaluation mechanisms and memory requirements.
