{{Short description|Educational programming language}}

'''Gofer''' ("'''Go'''od '''F'''or '''E'''quational '''R'''easoning") is an implementation of the programming language [[Haskell (programming language)|Haskell]] intended for educational purposes and supporting a language based on version 1.2 of the Haskell report. It has since been replaced by [[Hugs]].[http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/faq.htm]

'''Gofer''' ("'''Go'''odGood '''F'''orfor '''E'''quationalequational reasoning'''R'''easoning") is an implementation of the programming language [[Haskell (programming language)|Haskell]] intended for educational purposes and supporting a language based on version 1.2 of the Haskell report. It has since beenwas replaced by [[Hugs (interpreter)|Hugs]].[http<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cvswww.haskell.org/Hugshugs/pages/users_guide/faq.htm]html#AEN1870|title=Frequently Asked Questions about Hugs|website=www.haskell.org}}</ref>

Its syntax is closer to the earlier commercial language [[Miranda (programming language)|Miranda]] than the subsequently standardized Haskell. It lacks some of the features of Haskell (such as the deriving clause in data type definitions) but includes a number of features which were not adopted by Haskell (although some were later incorporated into [[Glasgow_Haskell_Compiler|GHC]], such as generalizing the [[list comprehension]] syntax to support any monad, which is now available using the MonadComprehensions extension).
