Thanks (everyone) for your suggestions.

That's very much my programming style. I wonder if it comes from the
small amount of functional programming that I studied :-)

I guess what I'm intersted in is the techniques or patterns that come up
in functional programs. Program transformation seems to be something
that gets used a lot, for example... I think the ideal for me would be a
reasonably gentle intro to a language (or perhaps a few - there are
quite a lot of those kinds of tutorials on the web though), and then a
series of article like chapters that cover interesting ways of using the
language.
