What is Haskell?

Haskell is a polymorphically typed, lazy, purely functional programming language. It is based upon the lambda calculus, and provides a different approach to programming than that provided by many other languages.

There are several different implementations of Haskell. The two we will use in this course are (1) The HUGS interpreter, and (2) the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC).

For more information, see the Haskell website.
