The Haskell Ports Library (HPL) supports concurrent and distributed
computing in the IO monad _without_ relying on mutable variables.
Instead, it supplies monotone single-assignment variables and ports
abstractions. Ports are an abstraction for modelling variables whose
values evolve over time without the need to resort to mutable
variable, such as IORefs. More precisely, a port represents all values
that a time-dependent variable successively takes as a stream, where
each element of the stream corresponds to a state change.
Ports are ideally suited for purely functional GUI interfaces that
completely avoid the use of mutable variables. It is planned to extend
the library to interaction between different processes possibly
located on distinct processing nodes.

C->Haskell is an interface generator that simplifies the development
of Haskell bindings to C libraries. The tool processes existing C
header files that determine data layout and function signatures on the
C side, in conjunction with Haskell modules that specify Haskell-side
type signatures and marshaling details. Hooks embedded in the Haskell
code signal access to C structures and functions; they are expanded by
the interfacing tool in conjunction with information in the
corresponding C header file.

This update fixes a longstanding bug that made Gnome 2 not play well
with macppc and sparc* arches. Additionally, it introduces a new patch
scheme for libtool since the later libtools recognize -pthread... well
mostly anyway.
Cheetah is a Python-powered template engine and code generator. It can
be used as a standalone utility or it can be combined with other tools.
Cheetah has many potential uses, but web developers looking for a viable
alternative to ASP, JSP, PHP and PSP are expected to be its principle
user group.

This is an alternative to Exporter intended to provide a lightweight
subset of its functionality. It supports import(), @EXPORT and
@EXPORT_OK and not a whole lot else.

(UUID).
