+* Haga
+
+… is a simplistic library for implementing genetic algorithms in Haskell. While
+it was originally created to randomly assign topics to students in seminars
+while respecting their priorities, since then, it has become slightly more
+general with the outlook of one day being a fully fledged GA library usable for
+many different problems. Haga is also used as a test bed for fun ideas such as
+representing improvements in the population's fitness using MIDI sound.
