About Gofer

Gofer was created in 1991 by Mark P. Jones. It served as an educational tool to teach functional programming concepts and type theory, providing a simplified version of Haskell for easier learning and experimentation.

Strengths of Gofer included its simplicity and suitability for educational purposes, making it accessible for students learning functional programming. Weaknesses involved limited libraries and less industrial support compared to more mature languages. Competitors included Haskell, Scheme, and ML, which offered broader functionality and community support.
