FP (programming language): Overview, FP84 & Equational functions

FP (for functional programming) is a programming language created by John Backus to support the function-level programming paradigm. It allows building programs from a set of generally useful language primitives and avoiding named variables (a style also called tacit programming or "point free"). It was heavily influenced by APL developed by Kenneth E.…
