happy - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  Happy
  
     <tool> A dyslexic acronym for "A Yacc-like Haskell Parser
     generator".
  
     An LALR1 grammar parser generator for Haskell.  Happy is
     written in Haskell, uses a parser generated by itself, and can
     be compiled using ghc, hbc or gofer.  Happy uses an
     implementation of monadic IO built on top of stream IO, but
     this should change when the Haskell 1.3 standard has been
     implemented.
