Strongly typed, lazy functional programming language. It generated a lot of interest during the 1990s and is still one of the more popular functional languages out there but was greatly hampered at the time by the complete incompatibility of different tools available, and lack of standards and standard adherence in general.
While things have got a lot better in the last couple of decades, there is still some distance between the standards and the available tools, the Haskell 98 specification and later for instance state that Haskell supports Unicode but actually none of the implementations do so except via kludgy workarounds.
The language was originally designed by a committee in 1987 to 89, with version one of the Haskell specification being released in 89, originally it was intended to be a variant of David Turner’s Miranda but Turner refused permission for this as he was afraid of incompatible variants of the language existing in the wild the Haskell committee ended up deliberately making the language incompatible with Miranda, however the two languages are still structurally very similar.
Haskell has grown a few dialects of it own including Mondrian that simplifies the Haskell structures.
