  Gofer
  
     <language> A lazy functional language designed by Mark
     Jones <mpj@cs.nott.ac.uk> 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.
  
     Latest version: HUGS.
