Encyclopedia > Curry programming language

Curry is an experimental functional logic programming language, based on the Haskell language. It merges elements of functional and logic-based programming. Functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions. ... Logic programming (sometimes called logical programming) is programming that makes use of pattern-directed invocation of procedures from assertions and goals. ... Computer code (HTML with JavaScript) in a tool that uses syntax highlighting (colors) to help the developer see the purpose of each piece of code. ... Haskell is a standardized pure functional programming language with non-strict semantics named after the logician Haskell Curry. ...


It is nearly a superset of Haskell, lacking support mostly for overloading using type classes, which some implementations provide anyways as a language extension, such as the Münster Curry Compiler. In computer science, polymorphism means allowing a single definition to be used with different types of data (specifically, different classes of objects). ...

The son of educator Samuel Silas Curry, he was educated at Harvard University and received a Ph.D. from Göttingen in 1930, under the supervision of David Hilbert.
Combinatory logic is the foundation for one style of functional programming language.
The functional computer languages Haskell and Curry are named after him, as is the concept of currying in combinatory logic, the lambda calculus, and functional programming.

Occam - is a programming language which facilitates writing parallel programs, allowing the programmer to specify whether processes are to be executed sequentially or in parallel.
One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say that it aims to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant as and safer than Eiffel, and support higher-order functions and iteration abstraction as well as Common Lisp, CLU or Scheme.
YAFL Programming Language - is a middle term research project which covers the design and the implementation of a new object-oriented language, as well as several attached programming tools.
