I am developing a course on "functional programming" to be taught at the beginning graduate/advanced undergraduate level. Although the students may have been "exposed" to some Lisp programming, their world view is primarily shaped by the imperative (Pascal, C, & Ada) paradigm. In this course I want to focus more on "programming" issues than on "programming language" issues. This will not be an AI course or primarily a Lisp language course. Your suggestions on the following are solicited: What language would you suggest as "best" for such a course? Miranda, Scheme, Hope, Standard ML, etc. What are appropriate textbooks (given the language choice)? Are inexpensive (preferably free!) language implementations and supporting software available? hosts of interest: IBM PC (DOS), 386-based UNIX, Sun 3, AT&T 3B2, UNIX PCs, Sun 4, IBM RISC System/6000 My Internet E-mail address is cunningham@cs.olemiss.edu.
