(1) Useful - really functional language items that can come in handy in real situations.

(2) That's the behavior you'd expect within a functional language.

(3) XSLT is a functional language.

(4) A functional language system with embedded construction for representing procedural knowledge is designed and implemented.

(5) The first functional language was LISP 3, written by John McCarthy 1 in the late 1950 s.

(6) If you're using a functional language (such as Python), you can follow up on these compositional tricks by experimenting with currying and other such techniques.

(7) Notice that the phrase "first functional language" here is apt, as everything is based on functions.

(8) In a functional language, a program is defined as a function composed of other functions, the evaluation of which leads to the final result.

(9) The representation and storage mapping are used in functional language system with describing procedural knowledge.

(10) Ultimately, and surprisingly, JavaScript is more of a functional language than an object-oriented one, and it uses some clever syntax and semantics to simulate highly sophisticated behaviors.

(11) XQuery is a high-level, strongly-typed, functional language (free of side-effects) that is ideal to express a query to obtain data both from an XML document and a large XML document repository.

(12) The second level is functional language description, that is, grammatical-rhetorical analysis.

(13) Functions in a functional language are considered first class, meaning that functions can appear anywhere that any other language construct (such as variables) can appear.

(14) If you have never programmed using a functional language, you should read the first six chapters carefully.

(15) Now that you've seen the basics of a functional language, you can begin to see how you could live with no side effects and only limited support for state.

(16) In keeping with the mathematical nature of a functional language, everything must evaluate to an expression, including the if clause itself.

(17) When you code in a functional language, you think about solutions to problems differently.

(18) In a functional language, this would be handled via a higher-order function instead.

(19) In fact, this is precisely what's taking place: In a functional language, functions are first-class concepts, like variables and constants, and so are syntactically treated as such.

(20) This will seem familiar to most readers who have programmed in either an object-oriented language or a functional language.

(21) This paper is the research on binding time analysis in partial evaluation techniques. It provides the BTA in a partial evaluator for a kind of higher order functional language, which is called FSL.

(22) If you caught my Crossing borders article on concurrent programming with Erlang, another functional language, you've had a bit of a head start.

(23) On top of this, the templating layer is built like a functional language, which allows you to compose pages with one other (using folds and projections) in a simple and concise fashion.

(24) One solution to this problem is to use a functional language designed to scale.

(25) Compositionality: Perhaps the longest-standing principle in the design of XQuery is that XQuery should be a functional language incorporating the principle of compositionality.

(26) For the programmers who want Perl to be a more functional language, map and grep can satisfy the craving.

(27) But I've come to appreciate the raw productivity and power that a functional language can provide.
