Lisp/Scheme

From the FAQ: 'A functional programming language is a style of programming that emphasizes the evaluation of expressions, rather than execution of commands. The expressions in these language are formed by using functions to combine basic values. A functional language is a language that supports and encourages programming in a functional style.'. Lisp is invented by John McCarthy in the late fifties. After FORTRAN, lisp is the oldest general purpose language around. Common-lisp Scheme is a semi-functional programming lanugage, a dialect of Lisp. It is regarded as one of the most elegant programming languages in the world thanks to its smallness, beauty and expressive power. Check out the FAQ on functional programming languages on http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh//faq.html. Check out the Lisp/Scheme/Java products and the comparison articles.
