- Description:
-
- Hugs 1.0 is Mark Jones' "Haskell Users' Gofer System". It provides a
- functional programming environment much like that of Gofer but with a
- much greater degree of compatibility with Haskell. Almost all of the
- features of Haskell 1.2 are implemented with the exception of the module
- system (like Gofer, module headers and import declarations are parsed,
- but are otherwise ignored). For example, Hugs supports Haskell style
- type classes, a full prelude, derived instances, defaults, overloaded
- numeric literals and pattern matching, and bignum arithmetic. It has
- the advantage over Gofer of bignum arithmetic and is closer to the
- Haskell 1.2 standard, but has Haskell's less expressive type class system.
