🧇 Waffle: Haskell Gopher Protocol Client

Both gopher and waffle in French is "gaufre:"

The origin of the word 'gopher' is uncertain; French gaufre, meaning 'waffle', has been suggested, on account of the gopher tunnels resembling the honeycomb-like pattern of holes in a waffle…

—"Gopher," Wikipedia.

Waffle is a Gopher protocol client with a text interface written in Haskell, implemented according to RFC 1436 technical specification.

Alpha

This is a project in alpha. It is not fully functional. It is currently a demo. This is a project that is helping me learn a few things, namely Haskell, but I intend to make this a really good Gopher client. I got the idea to make a Gopher client because the default gopher client in Ubuntu was lacking and I wanted to provide fixes and improvements.

Special thanks to @Garmelon for mentoring me through all of this.
