A Compiler for the functional language Haskell Was Maintained by:simonmar@microsoft.com Port Added: 11 Jun 2003 16:04:05 Also Listed In:haskell License: not specified in port
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.
Documentation can be found hanging off GHC's homepage, below.

Checksum of bootstrap tarball for -current has changed. I have removed a lot of
not needed files to make it smaller (from 8MB to 5MB).
