Egison

Programming language

Egison is a functional programming language with the strong expressive power of pattern-matching. With Egison, we can express pattern-matching against a wide range of data types including multisets and sets.

Elements of syntax:

Inline comments	;
Variable assignment	(define $x ...)
Deep equality	eq?
Deep inequality	1#(not (eq? %1)
Function definition	(define $f (lambda [$x ...] ...))
Function call	(f arg ...)
Function call with no parameters	(f)
For each value in a numeric range, 1 increment	(map expr (between 1 n))
