language (Named after the logician
Haskell Curry) A
lazy purely functional language largely derived from
Miranda but with several extensions. Haskell was designed by a committee from the
functional programming community in April 1990. It features static
polymorphic typing, higher-order functions, user-defined algebraic data types, and pattern-matching list comprehensions. Innovations include a
class system, systematic operator
overloading, a functional I/O system, functional
arrays, and
separate compilation.
Haskell 1.3 added many new features, including monadic I/O, standard libraries, constructor classes, labeled fields in datatypes,
strictness annotations, an improved
module system, and many changes to the Prelude.
Gofer is a cut-down version of Haskell with some extra features.
Filename extension: .hs, .lhs (
literate programming).
