-Haskell is the standard purely 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++, etc).
-
-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://www.haskell.org/>.
