In the classification of programming languages, an applicative programming language is built out of functions applied to arguments. Applicative languages are functional, and applicative is often used as a synonym for functional.[1] However, concatenative languages can be functional, while not being applicative.[2]
The semantics of applicative languages are based on beta reduction of terms, and side effects such as mutation of state are not permitted.[3]
Lisp and ML are applicative programming languages.
