Definitions for "Haskell"
Keywords:  lazy, curry, peyton, logician, simonpj
A functional language carefully designed by the community to a standard to support the “pure” functional paradigm: lazy evaluation, weak typing, currying, and monads. Another functional language, Erlang, is widely used in commercial applications (mostly telecom), and supports fewer of these notions. Several Haskell environments exist; they are open source, run on all major platforms, and have a strong user/developer community. http://www.haskell.org
A functional programming language ( http://www.haskell.org ).
Haskell is a standardized purely functional programming language with non-strict semantics, named after the logician Haskell Curry. It is one of the more popular functional languages, and the lazy functional language on which the most research is being performed.Paul Hudak, John Hughes, Simon Peyton Jones, Philip Wadler, http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/papers/history-of-haskell/index.htm "A History of Haskell: being lazy with class".
