One words that seem to come up in Haskell are "algorithm" and "procedure."

I've not seen these used in Haskell. They sound distinctly imperative to me, for some reason. But, until you define the words connotatively, all I can say is how they sound to me.

Yes, I meant to write they *don't* come up in Haskell. Regarding how words "sound", that's a good thing to talk about, in my opinion. It's related to the philosophy of epistemology. Words have connotations. They are used in certain contexts, with certain implications. Thanks, Mike
