About:
GHC is the premier optimizing compiler for the Haskell programming language, providing a robust toolchain for translating Haskell source code into efficient native executables. It includes an interactive environment (GHCi) for exploratory development and testing. Its primary value is delivering high-performance applications with strong static type safety and advanced language features.

Key Features:

Advanced type system with type inference
High-performance native code generation
Interactive REPL (GHCi) for rapid development
Extensive ecosystem of libraries via Cabal

Use Cases:

Compiling high-performance backend systems and APIs
Developing financial models and quantitative analysis tools
Researching programming language theory and compiler design

Alternatives:

GHCup – GHCup is a preferred installer for managing multiple GHC versions, whereas this formula typically installs a specific version.
Stack – Stack is a build tool that manages project dependencies and GHC versions, often used on top of GHC itself.
