Pure

+ +

Pure (http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/) 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. The +interpreter uses LLVM as a backend to JIT-compile Pure programs to fast native +code. 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 interface +to C and other programming languages (including the ability to load LLVM bitcode +modules, and inline C, C++, Fortran and Faust code in Pure programs if the +corresponding LLVM-enabled compilers are installed).

Pure version 0.54 has been tested and is known to work with LLVM 3.1 (and +continues to work with older LLVM releases >= 2.5).
