Gofer
A lazy functional language designed by Mark
Jones at the Programming Research Group,
Oxford, UK in 1991. It is very similar to Haskell 1.2. It
has lazy evaluation, higher order functions, pattern
matching, and type classes, lambda, case, conditional and
let expressions, and wild card, "as" and irrefutable
patterns. It lacks modules, arrays and standard
classes.
Gofer comes with an interpreter (in C), a compiler which
compiles to C, documentation and examples. Unix Version
2.30 (1994-06-10) Mac_Gofer version 0.16 beta. Ported to
Sun, Acorn Archimedes, IBM PC, Macintosh, Atari,
Amiga.
Version 2.30 added support for contexts in datatype and member
function definitions, Haskell style arrays, an external
function calling mechanism for gofc, an experimental
implementation of Launchbury/Peyton Jones style lazy
functional state threads, an experimental implementation of
"do" notation for monad comprehensions.
