It's hard to generalize, but I would say there are at least 8 non-obscure FP's that either hook into java and .NET libs, or have some level of stdlib and community libs (I've only used 3, and I hear C# is getting some functional aspects, but I'm not following). - lisps: scheme, CL esp. SBCL, clojure - F#, scala - erlang, ocaml, haskell here's some books, freely available content, including for ocaml and haskell http://www.freetechbooks.com/functional-programming-f34.html http://www.freetechbooks.com/functional-programming-f34.html but missing scala: http://programmingscala.com/ http://programmingscala.com/
