= Prelude - a Haskell-like functional library

$Id: README 2 2006-08-25 00:11:17Z prelude $

+WARNING+ <em>The project is still in a very preliminary state. Only List was partially implemented. Feel free to conftribute.</em>

The goal of this project is to enables Ruby programmers to use higher functions, monads, infinite lists, and other Haskell features. I do believe the old math's maxim that "new notation leads to new results.

== What's in a name

Since most of the functionality to be implemented here is defined in Haskell's prelude package, the name +Prelude+ seemed natural at the inception time.

== Features

=== Rather curious collection of operations on lists

===  Reinforced Ruby's Lambda-calculus including currying, folds, etc.

===  Higher level functions

===  Monads
