 Description     : functional PL and a compiler designed especially
for learning Haskell

Helium is a functional programming language and a compiler designed
especially for learning Haskell. It is being developed at the Software
Technology group of the Institute of Information and Computing
Sciences of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Quality of the
error messages has been the main concern both in the choice of the
language features and in the implementation of the compiler. Our goal
is to let students (or anyone) learn functional programming more
quickly and with more fun.

Note: Helium does not support type classes yet. For that reason it is
incompatible with Haskell text books.

The language is a subset of the Haskell language. The essential
features we want to teach are all there: algebraic data types, pattern
matching, higher-order functions, laziness and polymorphism. The most
notable difference with Haskell is the absence of overloading, which
is a mixed blessing. Without overloading many function types are
simpler and thus more specific type errors can be given.
