I've just discovered fun4j and I like it a lot. I think it's very useful. I've read the tutorial about the functional assembler and I was wondering if it was possible to build an implementation for a typed functional language. Greetings and congratulations!!!!

very good idea. If you can't use clojure, but want more fp than pure java allows.

"I've read the tutorial about the functional assembler and I was wondering if it was possible to build an implementation for a typed functional language." Yes, that should be possible. Have a look at org.fun4j.Template and the respective testcases in test.org.fun4j.TemplateTest. The higher order functions support for Java Collections etc. is completely typed. cheers, Thomas
