-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).
+ * An interactive read-eval-print loop, similar to Hugs.
+ You can load a mixture of compiled and interpreted modules;
+ in particular, you automatically use the precompiled libraries,
+ so your "interpreted" programs often run pretty fast.
