 First of all, happy holidays to all of you!

Recently I have come in contact with functional programming languages. This is a fundamentally different from imperative languages (like C) and I must say that I like the concept. Because the code is not sequential, the compiler can optimize a lot and you can do crazy things like defining arrays of infinite size.

If you are interested, here is a link to a nice Haskell tutorials page.

 There have been a lot of people, through the years, who've used APL for crypto. The matrix operations alone make certain kinds of processing very simple.

I ordered a copy of a fascinating-looking book, the other day:

Mr. Babbage's Secret: The Tale of a Cypher and Apl
by Ole Immanuel Franksen
ISBN 0136047297

This appears to be simultaneously an examination of how APL can be used in cryptography, and an exploration of Babbage's work in cryptography as revealed in his unpublished notes.
