Pure is a modern-style functional programming language based on term rewriting.
It offers equational definitions with pattern matching, full symbolic rewriting
capabilities, dynamic typing, eager and lazy evaluation, lexical closures,
built-in list and matrix support and an easy-to-use C interface. The
interpreter uses LLVM as a backend to JIT-compile Pure programs to fast native
code.
