Line 1:
In the [[programming paradigm|classification of programming languages]], an '''applicative programming language''' is designed to support the development of programs as giving the result of a function of the combined variables. Successive functional transformations are applied to data to arrive at the result. Such a [[programming language|language]], with program control and total state kept in the background, may also be known as a [[functional language]], in a rather loose sense of the term.
[[Lisp programming language|Lisp]] and [[ML programming language|ML]] are applicative programming languages. In Haskell, this programming paradigm is developed into the applicative functor, which extends the higher-order functional abstraction beyond monad.
