It will be an unmoderated group for the discussional of functional programming and functional programming languages. By 'functional programming' is meant programming without side effects and in a context where functions are first class objects. It isn't necessary that the language itself be purely functional, so scheme, ml, etc. are valid topics for discussion; but only the functional aspects of not purely functional languages should be discussed. The voting period will last from March 13 to April 3, inclusive. Votes should be mailed to carlton@husc4.harvard.edu, husc6!husc4!carlton, and should contain a subject of the form i vote {YES, NO} for comp.lang.functional as proposed. The group will then be created, after a 5 day waiting period, if 100 more YES votes than NO votes are received and if at least 2/3 of the votes are YES votes. david carlton carlton@husc4.harvard.edu husc6!husc4!carlton carlton@husc4.bitnet
