Haskell
     
         (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
        function}s, user-defined {algebraic data type}s, and
        {pattern-matching} {list comprehension}s.  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.
