Miranda

    (From the Latin for "admirable", also the heroine
   of Shakespeare's "Tempest") A lazy purely functional
   programming language and interpreter designed by David
   Turner of the University of Kent in the early 1980s and
   implemented as a product of his company, Research Software
   Limited.  Miranda combines the main features of KRC and
   SASL with strong typing similar to that of ML.

   It features terse syntax using the offside rule for
   indentation.  The type of an expression is inferred from the
   source by the compiler but explicit type declarations are
   also allowed.  It has nested pattern-matching, list
   comprehensions and modules.  It uses operator sections
   rather than lambda abstractions.  User types are algebraic,
   and in early versions could be constrained by laws.

   It is implemented using SKI combinator reduction.
   Originally implemented for Unix, there are versions for most
   UNIX-like platforms including Intel PC under Linux.  The
   KAOS operating system is written entirely in Miranda.

   There are translators from Miranda to Haskell mira2hs
   (/pub/misc/mira2hs) and to LML mira2lml (/pub/misc/mira2lml).
   Non-commercial near-equivalents of Miranda include Miracula and
   Orwell.
