Mixed applicative and imperative programs

Parallel Functional Computation

“…The design for a comprehensive interface between SISAL and other, conventional languages is complete [22]. It adds a modern modular structure to the language that separates specification from implementation, allows a simple form for small programs, and enables SISAL code to use extant subprogram libraries or large applications written in convuintional languages to reference SISAL code for subsystems where high performance, parallel execution is necessary.…”
