-The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System (GHC) is a robust,
-fully-featured, optimising compiler for the functional programming
-language Haskell 98. GHC compiles Haskell to either native code or
-C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to Haskell,
-including concurrency, a foreign language interface, several
-type-system extensions, exceptions, and so on. GHC comes with a
-generational garbage collector, a space and time profiler, and a
-comprehensive set of libraries. This package includes HTML and PS
-versions of the SGML-based documentation for GHC. They are also available
-online at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/.

-Haskell 98 is "the" standard lazy functional programming language.
-More info plus the language definition is at http://www.haskell.org/.
+Haskell is the standard lazy purely functional programming language.
+The current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998,
+with a revised version published in January 2003.
+
+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
+Haskell home page at http://haskell.org/.
