Nevertheless, even skilled programmers may considerably benefit from this book, because they might never have been exposed before to a view of programming which is traditionally at home in artificial intelligence programming and in functional programming languages like Haskell, Miranda, ML, SML, Scheme and Lisp and not in commercial programming and languages like FORTRAN, BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, C, C++, Java, etc..
Functional programming languages are considered as programming languages with a unique expressiveness that lead a code, that is more robust and easier to verify than in imperative languages..
`Programming pur' demonstrates the applicability of the three major programming paradigms in popular programming languages like C, C++ and Java, thus giving programmers the choice to take advantage of functional programming even in non-functional languages.
