Haskell

Lazy evaluation language

Haskell is a programming language known for its purely functional approach—functions produce outputs based solely on inputs without side effects.

Named after logician Haskell Curry, it emphasizes strong static typing and lazy evaluation, where expressions aren't computed until their values are needed.

Haskell is favored in academic settings and by programmers who value mathematical rigor: I rewrote the parser in Haskell.
