• The programming language Haskell:
  
  
  • In the lecture we are using GHCi, an interactive version of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler GHC. GHCi is included in the GHC distribution and is installed in the undergraduate linux labs.
    Alternatively, one may use the Haskell Interpreter Hugs. To get Hugs visit this downloading page and choose hugs98-Nov2002-2.src.rpm (for Linux), hugs98-Nov2002.msi (for windows) respectively. Hugs is installed in the linux labs as well.
  • Revised Report on the Programming Language Haskell 98.
  • Haskell Libraries.
  • Haskell and Graphics
