+ ++Pure is an algebraic/functional programming language based on term rewriting. +Programs are collections of equations which are used to evaluate expressions in +a symbolic fashion. Pure offers dynamic typing, eager and lazy evaluation, +lexical closures, a hygienic macro system (also based on term rewriting), +built-in list and matrix support (including list and matrix comprehensions) and +an easy-to-use C interface. The interpreter uses LLVM as a backend to + JIT-compile Pure programs to fast native code.
+ +In addition to the usual algebraic data structures, Pure also has +MATLAB-style matrices in order to support numeric computations and signal +processing in an efficient way. Pure is mainly aimed at mathematical +applications right now, but it has been designed as a general purpose language. +The dynamic interpreter environment and the C interface make it possible to use +it as a kind of functional scripting language for many application areas. +

+ ++I'd like to inform that the LDC project (LLVM D +Compiler) is working with release 2.5 of LLVM. In fact we've required +2.5 in our trunk since the release was branched. +The improvements in 2.5 have fixed a lot of problems with LDC, more +specifically the new inline asm constraints, better debug info +support, general bugfixes :) and better x86-64 support have allowed +some major improvements in LDC, getting us much closer to being as +fully featured as the original DMD compiler from DigitalMars. +
