First I was thinking about <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/">OCaml</a> but after a bit of research today I found out that <a href="http://www.haskell.org">Haskell</a> is extremely versatile as well and has all the functionality I need: <ul> <li><a href="http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Concurrent.html">Concurrency Support</a></li> <li><a href="http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/">Gtk+ <span class="caps">GUI</span> Bindings</a></li> <li><a href="http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/libraries/base/System-Cmd.html">Possibility to execute external commands</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.haskell.org/happy/"><span class="caps">HAPPY</span>: A Parser Generator for Haskell</a></li> </ul> <p>With these tools I could go ahead and start implementing the all new <strong>functional</strong> <a href="http://www.bytelabs.org/devel.html">PortBrowser</a> if I had the time to do it&#8230;</p> Tue, 27 Feb 2007 23:26:00 +0000 urn:uuid:994889af47abc36327108838b0bd0fc0 igor http://blog.solaris.bytelabs.org/articles/2007/02/27/all-purpose-functional-language-haskell Hacking and Computers
