The Nottingham and Yale Haskell interpreter and programming environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nottingham and Yale are pleased to announce a new release of Hugs,
|
||
|
|
a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing
|
||
|
|
cool Haskell programs. Sources and binaries are freely available
|
||
|
|
by anonymous FTP and on the World-Wide Web.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This release is largely conformant with Haskell 1.4, including
|
||
|
|
monad and record syntax, newtypes, strictness annotations, and
|
||
|
|
modules. In addition, it comes packaged with the libraries defined
|
||
|
|
in the most recent version of the Haskell Library Report and with
|
||
|
|
extension libraries which are compatible with GHC 3.0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hugs is best used as a Haskell program development system: it boasts
|
||
|
|
extremely fast compilation, supports incremental compilation, and
|
||
|
|
has the convenience of an interactive interpreter (within which one
|
||
|
|
can move from module to module to test different portions of a
|
||
|
|
program). However, being an interpreter, it does not nearly match
|
||
|
|
the run-time performance of, for example, GHC or HBC.
