From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  Happy
       
           A dyslexic acronym for "A Yacc-like Haskell Parser
          generator".
       
          An {LALR1 grammar} {parser generator} for {Haskell}.  Happy is
          written in Haskell, uses a parser generated by itself, and can
          be compiled using {ghc}, {hbc} or {gofer}.  Happy uses an
          implementation of {monadic IO} built on top of stream IO, but
          this should change when the {Haskell 1.3} {standard} has been
          implemented.
       
          Version: 0.9 (1996-02-28).
       
          Happy is covered by the {General Public License}.
