[updated] Functional programming language for C programmers and friends

Just for you:

module main {
    import std (range);
    import std.io (printf, IO);
 
    /* print the Fahrenheit-Celcius table
        for fahr = 0, 20, ..., 300 */
    function main(mutable IO io) {
        Int lower = 0;   // lower bound
        Int upper = 300; // upper bound
        Int step = 20;   // step
        for (Int fahr in range(lower, upper, step)) {
            Double celcius = 5 * (fahr - 32) / 9;
            std.io.printf(io, "%3d\t%6.1f\n", fahr, celcius);
        }
    }
}

It does not really look like it, but this language is purely functional. It represents side effects using unique types. If you declare a mutable parameter, you basically declare a unique input parameter and a unique output parameter.

I’m also giving you a list implementation

module std.container.list {

    /** The standard singly-linked list type */
    type List[E] {
        Nil;                    /** empty list */
        Node {
            E value;            /** current value */
            List[E] next;       /** remaining list */
        }
    }
}

Thus are only excerpts from a document with tens of pages and the reference implementation of the standard library. The incomplete working draft for the language is attached: JAK Programming Language Early Working Draft (28 pages).

Update: Fixed the link.
