The Journal of Functional Programming (JFP) is a Diamond Open Access journal and is the only journal devoted solely to the design, implementation, and application of functional programming languages, spanning the range from mathematical theory to industrial practice.

JFP was formerly published by Cambridge University Press (until the end of 2025). Articles published before 2026 (i.e. Volumes 1-35) are archived by CUP and are available on the old CUP JFP website. Articles from Volume 36 onwards will be published here.

Scope of the Journal of Functional Programming

Anything related to functional programming is of interest, including: foundations (semantics, abstract interpretation, lambda calculi, rewriting, logic, type theory, category theory); implementation (compilation, architectures, parallelism, garbage collection, I/O, debugging, profiling); language design (pure and impure language features, non-determinism, side effects, logical variables, relation to other programming paradigms, proofs about programs, program transformation, program synthesis, partial evaluation); applications (applications programs, practical experience, programming techniques, prototyping). Papers may describe original technical work, survey an area, or present a tutorial; and may be either short or long.
