The most famous functional programming languages are the following.
Functional languages are fast nowadays. All of the languages above perform better than languages like Java, PHP, Phyton, Perl, Lua and Ruby according to the Computer Language Benchmarks Game.
I wrote my Diploma-thesis about "Geometrische Algorithmen in Haskell" (Geometric Algorithms in Haskell). I also wrote a library for these geometric algorithms.
I once worked on an Interface for OpenGL (using HOpenGL) to visualize input and output of the geometric algorithms. But i stopped it a long time ago due to time constraints. See for example some triangulations of polygons in the following picture.
I worked on internals of the library, too. For example, the next release (if it is ever released) will use multiparameter type classes and some of the GHC libraries.
