Description:
The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising compiler for Haskell 98. GHC compiles Haskell to either native code or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to Haskell 98; for example: concurrency, a foreign language interface, multi-parameter type classes, scoped type variables, existential and universal quantification, unboxed types, exceptions, weak pointers, and so on. GHC comes with a generational garbage collector, and a space and time profiler. Haskell 98 is a superset of Haskell 1.4
