HUnit vs. Haskell vs. Unlambda vs. VBScript Comparison Chart

HUnit is a unit testing framework for Haskell, inspired by the JUnit tool for Java. It's easy to use HUnit, assuming you are familiar with Haskell, though not necessarily with JUnit. A test-centered methodology for software development is most effective when tests are easy to create, change, and execute. The JUnit tool pioneered support for test-first development in Java. HUnit is an adaptation of JUnit to Haskell, a general-purpose, purely functional programming language. With HUnit, as with JUnit, you can easily create tests, name them, group them into suites, and execute them, with the framework checking the results automatically. Test specification in HUnit is even more concise and flexible than in JUnit, thanks to the nature of the Haskell language. HUnit currently includes only a text-based test controller, but the framework is designed for easy extension. Run the tests as a group.

Unlambda is a programming language. Nothing remarkable there. The originality of Unlambda is that it stands as the unexpected intersection of two marginal families of languages. Functional programming languages, of which the canonical representative is Scheme (a Lisp dialect). This means that the basic object manipulated by the language (and indeed the only one as far as Unlambda is concerned) is the function. Rather, Unlambda uses a functional approach to programming: the only form of objects it manipulates are functions. Each function takes a function as an argument and returns a function. Apart from a binary “apply” operation, Unlambda provides several built-in functions (the most important ones being the K and S combinators). User-defined functions can be created, but not saved or named, because Unlambda does not have any variables.
