Summary description: Provide an intuitive LaTeX2 interface for expl3
Announcement text:
LaTeX3 programming layer (expl3) is very powerful for advanced users, but it is a little complicated for normal users. This functional package aims to provide intuitive LaTeX2 functional interfaces for it. Although there are functions in LaTeX3, the evaluation of them is from outside to inside. With this package, the evaluation of functions is from inside to outside, which is the same as other programming languages such as JavaScript or Lua. In this way, it is rather easy to debug code too.

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun

functional – Provide an intuitive functional programming interface for LaTeX2
This package provides an intuitive functional programming interface for LaTeX2, which is an alternative choice to expl3 or LuaTeX, if you want to do programming in LaTeX.
