-Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the
-current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998.
-
-GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is
-an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of
-platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick
-development. The distribution includes space and time profiling
-facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various
-language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign
-language interfaces (C, C++, whatever).
-
-A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
-specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references,
-contact information, links to research groups) are available from the

- What's new
-============
-
-5.02 incorporates many small refinements and bug fixes over the previous
-stable release (5.00.2). There are no major changes.
-
- - Much improved support for Windows platforms. Binary builds are
- now entirely freestanding. There's no need to install Cygwin or
- Mingwin to use it. It's a one-click-install-and-off-you-go story now.
