EXPRESSIVE POWER
of functional programming with the
EFFICIENT EXECUTION
of imperative, or procedural, programming by performing
STATIC SHAPE ANALYSIS
on all programs. This shape computation reduces higher-order functional programs to simple imperative forms, i.e. F - Sh = I. Conversely, FISh works best when functions are constructed from imperative procedures and shape functions, as recommended by the slogan that gives the language its name.
Functional = Imperative + Shape
FISh execution speeds on typical array problems are several times faster than other higher-order, polymorphic languages.
In addition to the pages linked above, the topics covered in the side-bar, and research papers on shape, there are also paragraphs on
