Gofer
     
         A {lazy} {functional language} designed by Mark
        Jones  at the {Programming Research Group},
        Oxford, UK in 1991.  It is very similar to {Haskell} 1.2.  It
        has {lazy evaluation}, {higher order function}s, {pattern
        matching}, and {type class}es, 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}.
