◊ DID YOU MEAN HAPPY?
Happy
A dyslexic acronym for "A Yacc-like Haskell Parser
generator".
An {LALR1 grammar} {parser generator} for {Haskell}. Happy is
written in Haskell, uses a parser generated by itself, and can
be compiled using {ghc}, {hbc} or {gofer}. Happy uses an
implementation of {monadic IO} built on top of stream IO, but
this should change when the {Haskell 1.3} {standard} has been
implemented.
Version: 0.9 (1996-02-28).
Happy is covered by the {General Public License}.
