Haskell
hs
(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).
