Line 1:

'''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 was replaced by [[Hugs]].<ref>[httphttps://cvswww.haskell.org/Hugshugs/pages/users_guide/faq.htmhtml#AEN1870]{{dead link|date=August 2016}}</ref>

Its syntax is closer to the earlier commercial language [[Miranda (programming language)|Miranda]] than the subsequently standardized [[Haskell (programming language)|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 (such as generalizing the [[list comprehension]] syntax to support any Monad).
