Roy: very good question! The `Haskell' we are discussing is a
computer programming language, designed in 1987 and currently being
used in a number of locations around the world. It was named after a
famous mathematical logician by the name of Haskell B. Curry, who
lived 1900-1982, and who invented some of the theory on which the
language is based.
