Description-en: Profiling libraries for the Glasgow Haskell Compilation system
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation system (GHC) is a compiler for
Haskell.
.
Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language. The language
definition and additional documentation can be found in the `haskell-doc'
package. Alternatively, there is an online version at
http://haskell.org/onlinereport/.
.
This package contains additional profiling libraries. They are only needed,
if you want to take a closer look on where exactly your program burns CPU
cycles.
