I didn't see the original question, so I hope this answer is right....

Haskell is a functional language which has been developed over the last
few years by an international group of people. The language spec and
compiler are publically available, the main ones having been written
at Yale, Glasgow & Chalmers (Sweden). The group hopes the language will
become a standard in the functional world, though not everybody is
enthusiastic about it (and yet I still posted this answer :-)).

Read comp.lang.functional for further details.

Hope this helps,
