'''Gofer''' (''Good for equational reasoning'') 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 (interpreter)|Hugs]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.haskell.org/hugs/pages/users_guide/faq.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).
