GHC: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler.
|
|
|
|
The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising
|
|
compiler for the functional programming language Haskell 98
|
|
(http://www.haskell.org). GHC compiles Haskell to either native code
|
|
or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to
|
|
Haskell, including concurrency, a foreign language interface, several
|
|
type-system extensions, exceptions, and so on. GHC comes with a
|
|
generational garbage collector, a space and time profiler, and a
|
|
comprehensive set of libraries.
|
|
|
|
This package provides the 8.10.x release series which have been
|
|
superseded by GHC 9.0.x (lang/ghc90). There is basically no reason why
|
|
one would want to use this anymore, as GHC 9 can also be bootstrapped
|
|
using GHC 8.8.
