Haskell is a pure functional programming language that is characterized by its advanced type system and lazy evaluation. It is well-suited for writing programs that are both efficient and easy to reason about. Haskell is used in a variety of domains, including finance, software engineering, and research.
History of Haskell
Haskell was designed in the late 1980s by a team of researchers led by Simon Peyton Jones. It was named after Haskell Curry, a logician and mathematician who made significant contributions to the foundations of computer science.
Haskell was first released in 1990, and it has been under continuous development since then. The latest version of Haskell is Haskell 98, which was released in 2010.
