------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gofer is an interactive functional programming environment (i.e. an
1995-02-08 09:41:13 +00:00
interpreter) supporting a language based on the draft report for Haskell
version 1.2.
1995-02-08 09:41:13 +00:00
Gofer is intended as an experimental language, particularly where type classes
are involved. Gofer extends the Haskell type class system in several ways.
1995-02-08 09:41:13 +00:00
The most significant features of Haskell not currently supported are:
modules, arrays, overloaded numeric constants, default declarations, derived
instances, contexts in datatype definitions.
