Line 7: * It's easy to '''refactor''' similar pieces of code, because any subexpression can be replaced by a variable bound at the outside. This leads to a coding style which is very different from more traditional languages. [[Iteration]] is typically replaced by ~~tail-~~[[tail recursion\|tail-recursion]]. Lists become a very important datatype. Code often consists of a composition of simpler blocks, which makes it look similar to [[declarative programming]]. Most functional programming languages (FPLs) are related to the [[wp:Lambda_Calculus\|lambda calculus]], which makes the specification of their formal semantics simpler.
