Iswim (If you See What I Mean) is a programming language designed by Peter J. Landin in the 1960s. It introduced many concepts that influenced modern functional programming languages, such as first-class functions, lazy evaluation, and the use of an abstract syntax tree for program representation. Iswim's primary aim was to bridge the gap between mathematical notation and executable code, emphasizing clarity and expressiveness in programming.

About Iswim

Iswim was created in 1966 by Peter J. Landin. It was designed to explore the potential of functional programming and to bridge the gap between mathematical notation and executable code. Iswim introduced several key concepts that influenced later languages, such as first-class functions, lazy evaluation, and the use of an abstract syntax tree for program representation. The language aimed to emphasize clarity and expressiveness in programming.

Iswim's strengths included its introduction of first-class functions, lazy evaluation, and an abstract syntax tree, which influenced modern functional programming languages. Its weaknesses were its lack of practical implementation and limited adoption in the industry. Competitors included other early functional languages like Lisp and later languages such as Haskell that built on Iswim's concepts.
