Summary Image

Haskell is a statically-typed, purely functional programming language originally developed in the early 1960s at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. It was designed as a high-level, mathematically-oriented language for symbolic and numerical programming, drawing inspiration from languages like LISP and ISWIM. Haskell's key features include a sophisticated type system, algebraic data types, pattern matching, monads, and lazy evaluation, which make it well-suited for tasks like theorem proving, symbolic algebra, and modeling of physical and biological systems. While Haskell has never achieved mainstream adoption, it has had a lasting impact on programming language design and continues to be used in specialized domains, particularly in academia, finance, and the open-source software community.

Dear Wonkypedia visitors,

I humbly ask you to defend Wonkypedia's independence. It isn't cheap to beam these articles from a different dimension (using generative AI). If you donate a buck or two, it goes a long way to keep the site running.

Thank you,
