Applications and libraries/Compilers and interpreters
Haskell, with its support for pattern matching on data structures, generic structure traversals, and expressive type system, is popular for implementing compilers and intepreters. Here's a selection of languages implemented in Haskell.
Large languages
Haskell
- GHC
- GHC, The Glasgow Haskell Compiler, is written in Haskell
- Yhc
- Yhc, The York Haskell Compiler, is written in Haskell
- Jhc
- Jhc is a Haskell compiler which aims to produce the most efficient programs possible via whole program analysis
- nhc98
- A compiler for Haskell 98, written in Haskell
- pH
- A parallel version of Haskell from MIT.
Perl
- Pugs
- Pugs is an implementation of Perl 6, written in Haskell. It aims to implement the full Perl6 specification.
Ruby
- RType
- RType is a Ruby interpreter written in Haskell
Scheme
- Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours
- A Haskell Tutorial.
Emacs Lisp
- Helisp
- The beginnings of an Emacs lisp compiler/interpreter.
Epigram
- Epigram
- Epigram is a prototype dependently typed functional programming language
Curry
- [http://danae.uni-muenster.de/~lux/curry/ The M�nster Curry Compiler]
- A native code compiler for the declarative multi-paradigm language Curry, written in Haskell
Bluespec
- Bluespec
- A compiler for a hardware description language translating a Haskell-like (but with System Verilog syntax these days) language to Verilog.
Small languages
Baskell
- Baskell
- An interpreter for a small functional programming language. Supports strict and non-strict evaluation, and type inference. Useful for teaching purposes.
Unlambda
- Unlambda.hs
- An implementation of unlambda in Haskell
BF
- BF.hs
- An implementation of BF in Haskell
Untyped lambda calculus
- LMEngine
- An implementation of the untyped lambda calculus
