hledger is a minimal haskell clone of John Wiegley's "ledger" text-based
accounting tool (http://newartisans.com/software/ledger.html). hledger
generates ledger-compatible register & balance reports from a plain text
ledger file, and demonstrates a functional implementation of ledger.
For
more information, see the hledger home page: http://joyful.com/hledger
