About:
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System (GHC) is a state-of-the-art, open-source compiler and interactive environment for the Haskell programming language. It translates high-level Haskell code into efficient native machine code for multiple platforms. GHC is renowned for its powerful type system, high-performance runtime, and support for advanced language extensions.
Key Features:
  • High-performance native code generation
  • Advanced type system with type inference
  • Interactive environment (GHCi) for rapid development
  • Comprehensive tooling including Cabal and Stack support
Use Cases:
  • Developing robust, high-performance backend systems and APIs
  • Research in programming language theory and functional paradigms
  • Building data processing pipelines and financial modeling applications
Alternatives:
  • GHCup – GHCup is a separate installer that manages multiple GHC versions and tools, often preferred over system package managers.
  • Stack – Stack is a build tool that provides reproducible builds and can install its own isolated GHC versions.
