A gofer is an errand runner.
Gofer may also refer to:
- Gofer (programming language), educational version of Haskell
- GOFER, mnemonic device for a decision-making discipline
A gofer, go-fer or gopher is an employee who specializes in the delivery of special items to their superior(s). The special items may be anything from a cup of coffee to a tailored suit or a car. Outside business the term is used to describe a child or young adult who is learning how to do tasks and is sent to fetch items. A similar job is that of peon in Commonwealth countries.
Gofer ("Good For Equational Reasoning") is an implementation of the programming language Haskell intended for educational purposes and supporting a language based on version 1.2 of the Haskell report. It was replaced by Hugs.
Its syntax is closer to the earlier commercial language Miranda than the subsequently standardized Haskell. It lacks some of features of Haskell (such as the deriving clause in data type definitions) but includes a number of features which were not adopted by Haskell (such as generalizing the list comprehension syntax to support any Monad).
