The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and | |||||
interactive environment for the functional language Haskell. Highlights: | |||||
* Supports the entire Haskell 2010 language plus a wide variety of | |||||
extensions. | |||||
* Has particularly good support for concurrency and parallelism, including | |||||
support for Software Transactional Memory (STM). | |||||
* Generates fast code, particularly for concurrent programs. | |||||
* Works on several platforms including FreeBSD, Windows, Mac, Linux, most | |||||
varieties of Unix, and several different processor architectures. | |||||
* Has extensive optimisation capabilities, including inter-module optimisation. | |||||
* Compiles Haskell code either directly to native code or using LLVM as a | |||||
back-end. It 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. | |||||
* Comes with several libraries, and thousands more are available on Hackage. | |||||
