Clojure interview: (take 5 daniel-spiewak)
http://clojure.com/blog/2012/04/19/take5-daniel-spiewak.html
Daniel Spiewak is a force of nature. As a highly respected member of the Scala programming language community and an overall thoughtful polyglot he seemed a natural fit as an interesting speaker for the 2011 Clojure/Conj. Daniel’s talk entitled *Extreme Cleverness: Functional Data Structures in Scala was highly energetic and astoundingly informative. Daniel’s open source contributions are not to be forgotten however. In addition to the important anti-xml Scala library, Daniel is attempting a bit of text-based collaboration magic with his Common Colaborative Coding Protocol project.

A Programming Language, Kenneth E. Iverson
http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APL.htm
Much of applied mathematics, particularly the more recent computer-related areas which cut across the older disciplines, suffers from the lack of an adequate programming language. It is the central thesis of this book that the descriptive and analytic power of an adequate programming language amply repays the considerable effort required for its mastery. This thesis is developed by first presenting the entire language and then applying it in later chapters to several major topics.

APL
http://groups.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/apl/apl.html
APL stands for “A Programming Language.” It was created in the 1960′s by Ken Iverson and his colleagues at IBM. Mathematically inspired, its main purpose was to serve as a powerful executable notation for mathematical algorithms. What APL is best known for is its use of non-ASCII symbols, including some Greek letters. It is a dynamically typed interactive, array oriented language with a dynamic scope. In APL, all expressions are evaluated from right to left.

M-expression – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-expression
In computer programming, M-expressions (or meta-expressions) were intended to be the expressions used to write functions in the Lisp programming language. Data to be manipulated using M-expressions was to be written using S-expressions. M-expressions were used for the original theoretical language in early papers about Lisp, but the first working implementation of Lisp interpreted encodings of M-expressions as S-expressions, and M-expressions were never actually implemented.

These are my first Scala programming language links.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scala_%28programming_language%29

Scala ( /ˈskɑːlə/ skah-lə) is a multi-paradigm programming language designed to integrate features of object-oriented programming and functional programming.^[3] The name Scala is aportmanteau of “scalable” and “language”, signifying that it is designed to grow with the demands of its users. James Strachan, the creator of Groovy, described Scala as a possible successor to Java.^[4]

^…

The design of Scala started in 2001 at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) by Martin Odersky, following on from work on Funnel, a programming language combining ideas from functional programming and Petri nets.^{[5][not in citation given]} Odersky had previously worked on Generic Java and javac, Sun’s Java compiler.^[5]

Scala was released late 2003 / early 2004 on the Java platform, and on the .NET platform in June 2004.^[3][5][6] A second version of the language, v2.0, was released in March 2006.^[3]

On 17 January 2011 the Scala team won a 5 year research grant of over €2.3 million from the European Research Council.^[7] On 12 May 2011, Odersky and collaborators launched Typesafe, a company to provide commercial support, training, and services for Scala. Typesafe received $3 million investment from Greylock Partners.^{[8][9][10][11]}

Lambda Calculus: Links, News and Resources (1)

Erlang: Links, News and Resources (1)

Haskell: Links, News and resources (1)

These are some of the relevant links I have collected about Functional Programming in general:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming
In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. It emphasizes the application of functions, in contrast to the imperative programming style, which emphasizes changes in state.^[1] Functional programming has its roots in lambda calculus, a formal system developed in the 1930s to investigate function definition, function application, and recursion. Many functional programming languages can be viewed as elaborations on the lambda calculus.^[1]

Closures: Links, News and Resources (1)

Continuing with the study of functional programming, these are my recent links about closures:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_%28computer_science%29

In computer science, a closure (also lexical closure, function closure or function value) is a function together with a referencing environment for the nonlocal names (free variables) of that function.^[1] Such a function is said to be "closed over" its free variables. The referencing environment binds the nonlocal names to the corresponding variables in scope at the time the closure is created, additionally extending their lifetime to at least as long as the lifetime of the closure itself.

The concept of closures was developed in the 1960s and was first fully implemented as a language feature in 1975 in the programming language Scheme to implement lexically-scoped first-class functions. Since then, many languages have been designed to support closures.
