Haskell programming language

In the 1980s, a committee was formed to create a standardized functional programming language with lazy evaluation. Haskell, named after the logician [Haskell Curry]?, was the result of those deliberations. The latest version of the language is Haskell 98.

Haskell is, as of 2001, the functional language on which the most research is being performed. Several variants have been developed: parallelizable versions from MIT and Glasgow, both called Parallel Haskell, more parallel and distributed versions called Goffin and Eden, an eager version called Eager Haskell and several object oriented versions: Haskell++, O'Haskell and Mondrian.

An educational version of Haskell called Gofer was developed by Mark Jones. It was supplanted by HUGS, the Haskell User's Gofer System.
