I've seen the term "applicative programming" a couple of times, usually
near the term "functional programming." Having read Backus' paper, I think
I know what is meant by "functional programming." I don't know of any
similar paper for "applicative programming", but have guessed that it means
something similar what you get with "pure lisp".

Would somebody let me know if I've got this correct? Also, pointers to a
paper that tries to define "applicative programming" would be appreciated.
