'''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 was replaced by [[Hugs]].<ref>[https://www.haskell.org/hugs/pages/users_guide/faq.html#AEN1870]</ref>

Its syntax is closer to the earlier commercial language [[Miranda (programming language)|Miranda]] than the subsequently standardized Haskell. It lacks some of 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 GHC, such as generalizing the [[list comprehension]] syntax to support any monad, which is now available using the MonadComprehensions extension).
