About Charity
Charity was created in the early 1990s as a research project at the University of Calgary. It was developed to explore the application of category theory in programming languages, aiming to provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for functional programming and formal verification.
Charity's strengths included its strong theoretical foundation in category theory and its emphasis on mathematical reasoning and formal verification. Its weaknesses were its limited practical use and small user community. Competitors included other functional programming languages like Haskell, which offered broader practical applications and a larger support base.
