    (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).
