[Pure](http://purelang.bitbucket.org/) is a modern-style functional
programming language based on term rewriting. It offers equational
definitions with pattern matching, full symbolic rewriting
capabilities, dynamic typing, eager and lazy evaluation, lexical
closures, built-in list and matrix support and an easy-to-use C
interface. The interpreter uses LLVM as a backend to JIT-compile Pure
programs to fast native code.


REPL

: 1. offers completion
  2. `show foo` will print the definition of
   defined functions and vars.


Language notes

:  1. *records* == "hash pairs"
