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.
