	Description:	FISh is a functional language with imperativ features. The FISh compiler is written in OCaml and the generated code is high-performant C sourcecode. If you believe in the benchmark results (I do!), quicksort written in FISh is more than twice as fast as the qsort routine of the C standard library (because C uses pointers whereas FISh does not).

(* function sqr *)
let sqr x = x * x ;;

(* array with 10 integers *)
let a = fill { 10 : int_shape } with [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] ;;

(* apply function sqr onto every element of array a *)
let res = map sqr a;; 

output res;;

Outputs the squares from 1 to 10.
