Haskell is a modern, general-purpose, [[functional programming|pure functional programming language]] that combines many powerful results from research into a practical programming language.  Its features include:

* '''[[typing|Static typing]]''', which increases robustness by allowing the compiler to catch many common errors automatically.

* '''[[Type inference]]''', which deduces types automatically and frees the programmer from writing superfluous type signatures.

*[[higher order function|'''Higher order functions''']], '''[[polymorphism]]''', and '''[[lazy evaluation]]''', which enable higher levels of abstraction and more compositional, thus more reusable code.

* '''Purity''', which helps to keep code maintainable, enables [[Introduction_to_QuickCheck|automatic, randomized testing]] and eases [[Concurrency_demos|concurrent programming]] significantly.

Haskell comes with many libraries, freely available [[Implementations|compilers]] for almost any computer, debuggers, profilers, [[Haskell_program_coverage|code coverage]] and testing tools.

== Headlines ==
* [http://www.ludd.ltu.se/~pj/hw2007/HaskellWorkshop.html Videos of the Haskell Workshop 2007] talks and discussion are now available again (on a different host to previously). They are in QuickTime (H264 video, AAC audio) format, at 320x240 pixels, low frame rate (but still about 120Mb per half-hour talk).

* Haskell.org is a mentoring organisation in the [http://code.google.com/soc 2007 Google Summer of Code].  9 students have been funded by Google to work on infrastructure projects for Haskell.

* The [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime Haskell-prime] committee has started work on defining the next minor revision of the language specification.

* The Ro/Haskell group and EduSoft are anouncing a special price (8 RON - somewhere between 2-3 euros in local currency) for "Introducere in Haskell 98 prin exemple" by Dan Popa (eng. Introduction in Haskell 98 by examples) 230pp, 24 cm. Tip: You have to answer the question:"What is the name of the romanian Haskell group or it's URL?" Recommanded for readers from Romania and Rep.Moldova. Limited stock. See the [[http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Ro/Haskell ro]] page for details or send an e-mail to : contact@edusoft.ro  Price valid untill 21 of december or the end of the stock.
