2. Functional programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

   Functional programming is very different from imperative programming. The most significant differences stem from the fact that functional programming avoids side effects, which are used in imperative programming to implement state and I/O. Pure functional programming completely prevents side-effects and provides referential transparency.

3. List of programming languages by type - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

   System software is computer software designed to operate and control the computer hardware, and to provide a platform for running application software. System software includes software categories such as operating systems, utility software, device drivers, compilers, and linkers. Examples of system languages include:

4. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Function_(computer_programming)

   Judicious application can reduce the cost of developing and maintaining software, while increasing its quality and reliability. [3] Callable units are present at multiple levels of abstraction in the programming environment. For example, a programmer may write a function in source code that is compiled to machine code that implements similar ...

5. Computer program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_program

   The main functional categories are application software and system software. System software includes the operating system, which couples computer hardware with application software. [122] The purpose of the operating system is to provide an environment where application software executes in a convenient and efficient manner. [122] Both ...

6. FP (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP_(programming_language)

   FP (short for functional programming) [2] is a programming language created by John Backus to support the function-level programming [2] paradigm. It allows building programs from a set of generally useful primitives and avoiding named variables (a style also called tacit programming or "point free").

7. Purely functional programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purely_functional_programming

   In a purely functional language, the only dependencies between computations are data dependencies, and computations are deterministic. Therefore, to program in parallel, the programmer need only specify the pieces that should be computed in parallel, and the runtime can handle all other details such as distributing tasks to processors, managing synchronization and communication, and collecting ...
