From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charity is a purely functional experimental programming language, developed at Calgary. Based on ideas by Hagino it is completely grounded in category theory.

Disregarding interactions with the outside world, all Charity programs are guaranteed to terminate. This means that the language is not Turing-complete. Nevertheless, it is capable of expressing the Ackermann function, which makes it more expressive than primitive recursion.
