Curry (programming language)

Multi-Paradigm Language

Curry is a declarative programming language that merges functional and logic programming into a single functional logic paradigm, extending it with built-in support for constraint programming. Designed by Michael Hanus, Sergio Antoy and others, and first appearing in 1995, Curry is built as a near superset of Haskell, sharing much of its syntax and static, strongly typed foundation, while adding Prolog-style non-deterministic search that Haskell itself lacks. Several implementations translate Curry programs into other host languages, including PAKCS (to Prolog), KiCS2 (to Haskell), MCC (to C) and Curry2Go (to Go), and the reference distribution is released under a BSD 3-clause license.
