Purely Functional Monadic Scheme

Information

Martin Grabmüller: Purely Functional Monadic Scheme, draft paper, June 2004.

8 pages, A4 format, English.

Abstract

This paper describes a purely functional dialect of the algorithmic programming language Scheme. Mutable variables, assignment operations and impure control operations (call-with-current-continuation) have been omitted, while side effecting input and output operations are incorporated into the purely functional language using monads, similar to the approach taken in the lazy programming language Haskell.
