Hugs (Haskell User's Gofer System) (also Hugs 98) is a bytecode interpreter for the functional programming language Haskell. Hugs is the successor to Gofer, and was originally derived from Gofer version 2.30b.[1] It offers fast compilation of programs and reasonable execution speed. It also comes with a simple graphics library. Hugs is good for people learning the basics of Haskell, but is by no means a "toy" implementation. It is the most portable and lightweight of the Haskell implementations. Haskell is a standardized pure functional programming language with non-strict semantics, named after the logician Haskell Curry. ... Byte-code is a sort of intermediate code that is more abstract than machine code. ... An interpreter is a computer program that executes other programs. ... Functional programming is a programming paradigm that conceives computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. ... A programming language is an artificial language that can be used to control the behavior of a machine, particularly a computer. ... Haskell is a standardized pure functional programming language with non-strict semantics, named after the logician Haskell Curry. ... A diagram of the operation of a typical multi-language, multi-target compiler. ... A computer program is a collection of instructions that describe a task, or set of tasks, to be carried out by a computer. ...


Hugs deviates from the Haskell 98 specification[2] in several minor ways.[3] For example, Hugs does not support mutually recursive modules. The Hugs prompt accepts expressions for evaluation, but not module, type or function definitions. Hugs can however read in text files containing Haskell modules at start-up.[4]

Hugs and Kisses - definition of Hugs and Kisses in Encyclopedia (236 words)
"Hugs and Kisses" is a term for a sequence of the letters X and O, e.g.
An x at the end of a letter or document was often kissed as a seal of honesty, in much the same way one would kiss a bible or kiss the fingers after making the sign of the cross, thus the x came to represent a kiss in modern times.
The origins of the "O" as a hug are not generally known, although it is speculated that it may represent the arms wrapped around someone being hugged.
