We are pleased to announce the first release of Hugs98 for .NET, April 2002. It sports the following: * A version of the popular Haskell interpreter, Hugs98 (http://haskell.org/hugs), targetted at the Microsoft .NET platform. * Hugs98 for .NET lets you use .NET classes and objects from within the comforts of Haskell. * Hugs98 for .NET lets you wrap up Haskell functions as .NET classes / delegators, providing any .NET language with the ability to call and use Haskell. The distribution comes with documentation and examples demonstrating how to access and interact with .NET -- all available via the Hugs98 for .NET homepage: http://galois.com/~sof/hugs98.net/ One of the main objectives behind this first release is to gauge the level of interest in having a good .NET story for Haskell. Feedback, suggestions for improvements, bug reports etc. are most welcome -- please e-mail these to the author: sof@galois.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hugs 98 system is Copyright (c) Mark P Jones, Alastair Reid, the Yale Haskell Group, and the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology, 1994-2001, All rights reserved.
