White paper: “Why Functional Programming Matters,” by John Hughes. Discusses an analogy with structured programming, gluing functions together, gluing programs together, Newton-Raphson square roots, numerical differentiation, numerical integration and an example of artificial intelligence.

The Essence of Functional Programming

http://uucode.com/blog/2007/01/24/the-essence-of-functional-programming

White paper: "The Essence of Functional Programming ," by Philip Wadler. Discusses he use monads to structure functional programs, interpreting monads, what a monad is, error messages, state, output, call-by-name interpreter, monad laws, the CPS (continuation passing style)interpreter, monads and CPS, monads vs. CPS and experiencing monads.

Lazy Functional Components for GUIs

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.49.6100

White paper: "Gadgets: Lazy Functional Components for Graphical User Interfaces," by Rob Noble and Colin Runciman. Discusses a process extension to a lazy functional programming system, the extended language, dynamically-created processes communicate by asynchronous message passing, illustrate the use of the language (including an example of a simple board game in which squares are implemented as concurrent processes), describe a window manager (implemented in the extended functional language), improving budgets, components, component definitions, continuation passing style, message transmission, message reception, composing components, duplex wires, higher-order functions, components with lists of pins, gadgets, the screen manager and the implementation outline.
