Lambdascript, a pure functional language built atop Python 3, provides a bridge between Python and functional programming, in yet another nod to a software development paradigm that has been attracting plenty of attention lately.
The Haskell-influenced language uses several Python features and benefits from modules written in Python, according to the project’s GitHub page. “Once a public version [is] released, it should be able to compile very well-written modules to be used in pure Python programs — or even in other Lambdascript programs,” the documentation states. The language is presently in an alpha release stage.
Set to work with either CPython3 or PyPy3 implementations of the language, Lambdascript emphasizes literate programming, with a full program being a Markdown document and lexical binding inside each block of code in the document.
