Description : GHC is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and interactive environment
: for the functional language Haskell. Highlights:
:
: - GHC supports the entire Haskell 2010 language plus a wide variety of
: extensions.
: - GHC has particularly good support for concurrency and parallelism,
: including support for Software Transactional Memory (STM).
: - GHC generates fast code, particularly for concurrent programs.
: Take a look at GHC's performance on The Computer Language Benchmarks Game.
: - GHC works on several platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux,
: most varieties of Unix, and several different processor architectures.
: - GHC has extensive optimisation capabilities, including inter-module
: optimisation.
: - GHC compiles Haskell code either directly to native code or using LLVM
: as a back-end. GHC can also generate C code as an intermediate target for
: porting to new platforms. The interactive environment compiles Haskell to
: bytecode, and supports execution of mixed bytecode/compiled programs.
: - Profiling is supported, both by time/allocation and various kinds of heap
: profiling.
: - GHC comes with several libraries, and thousands more are available on Hackage.
