The fun Functional Programming Instruction-set Architecture

fun is an open-specification instruction-set architecture (ISA) for structured combinator graph reduction, originally developed at the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Its goal is to bring functional programming down to the architecture layer, avoiding the inconveniences and troubles of imperative programming that plague conventional ISAs.

This wiki is intended to provide information about fun, its implementations, as well as programming examples, functional pearls, and more.
