Pandoc is written in #Haskell (https://haskell.org), an advanced, purely functional programming language. It was chosen for its great parser support, which was ahead of its time when pandoc was born in 2006. The language is also uniquely suited for a long-lived project, as the strong typing helps tremendously to keep things maintainable.
