Functional programming is a style of programming emphasizing evaluating expressions, rather than executing commands. Functional languages are those supporting and encouraging programming in a functional style, where expressions are formed by using functions to combine basic values.
On this page, languages are arranged in three groups and levels: 1) Top group: issues spanning multiple unrelated languages. 2) Middle group: types or classes of languages. 3) Bottom group: specific languages, with their own directory category.

A multi-threaded functional programming language with dynamic symbol bindings which provides a state of art runtime engine for 32- and 64-bit platform and a rich set of platform independent libraries, compatible with C++ runtime operations, automatic protection engine for shared objects. Successor of Aleph.
Home page for the Agda 2, a dependently typed functional programming language.
Functional language in which types are first class values. Normal functions returning types reproduce the features of template classes of other languages. Links to many projects around the world based on Aldor.
An XML centric programming language with higher order, semantic subtyping, pattern matching and overloading, and open source implementation.
Functional, categorical language, by University of Calgary, Canada. Innovative organization: based on theory of strong categorical datatypes divided into 2 subclasses: inductive (built up by constructors in the familiar way), and coinductive (broken down by destructors).
Daily news about the Clojure programming languange.
Parallel functional language to program reactive systems and parallel algorithms using distributed memory. Extends Haskell, but overrules lazy evaluation whenever needed to support parallelism.
Offers documentation as a frequently asked questions list. Also provides links to general topic, technical and other resources.
Lists functional programs written primarily to perform to real-world tasks. Has pure programs (no side effects) and impure (some use of side effects). Languages: Caml, Clean, Erlang, Haskell, Miranda, Scheme, Standard ML.
http://www.gmlscripts.com/ A useful collection of scripts that are not or are no longer built-in to the Game Maker IDE.
Functional language with inductive and coinductive types. Based on simply-typed lambda calculus augmented with sums, products, and mu and nu constructors for least (inductive) and greatest (coinductive) solutions to recursive type equations.
A simple functional scripting language for Internet applications.
Parallel functional language developed at Carnegie Mellon, SCandAL project. Most important new ideas: nested data parallelism, language based performance model.
https://yal.cc/r/gml/ An astounding feat of reverse engineering, the creator of this online IDE has quite literally recoded GML in its entirety to be made available in this fashion. Provides an easy and free way for anyone unwilling to download the full YoYoGames environment itself. The site itself is also a blog, with unending amounts of resources and helpful pseudocode for anyone interested in Game Development.
Java extension with functional features: generics (parametric polymorphism), function pointers (first-class (higher-order) functions), class cases and pattern matching (algebraic (data)types).
Resource-bounded functional language that uses a form of remote procedure call to realize active networking. Part of the SwitchWare Project. Descriptions, documents, downloads, contacts, links.
An extensible functional programming language based on the term rewriting calculus.
Member of Eden team. Articles.
General purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way.
John Hughes' list of FP-related tutorials and courses.
A functional language designed for obscurity
Information on monads and functional programming
A hybrid object-oriented and functional programming language which compiles to the JVM.
A paper by John Hughes from 1984 along with some translations distributed on the author web site.
Encyclopdia article including a definition, comparison, history, and examples.
Brief article, explains what they are, and how and why their popularity is growing; with links and reader comments. Linux Journal.
