• Source: Haskell Platform

      • The Haskell Platform is a set of software packages, tools, and libraries that create a common platform for using and developing applications in the programming language Haskell. With the Haskell Platform, Haskell follows the same principle as Python: "Batteries included". Since 2022, the Haskell Platform has been deprecated.


      Motivation


      The quality of a programming language itself is only one component in the ability of application writers to get the job done. Programming languages can succeed or fail based on the breadth and quality of their library collection.
      The Haskell Platform aims to unify Haskell development tools into a single package, consisting of a compiler, compiling tools, and many standard libraries, thereby making it easier to develop and deploy full-featured Haskell-based applications.


      Packages included


      The last versions consist of:

      Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC), Haskell's flagship compiler
      The GHC-Profiler
      GHCi, GHCs bytecode-interpreter
      The GHCi-Debugger
      Alex, a lexer generator, similar to Lex
      Happy, a parser generator, similar to Yacc
      Cabal, a package manager
      Haddock, a documentation tool
      hsc2hs, a preprocessor for binding Haskell to C code, allowing C libraries to be used from Haskell
      various libraries, such as zlib, cgi and OpenGL


      Deployment


      It is available for Ubuntu, Arch Linux, FreeBSD, Gentoo Linux (x86-64 and x86), Fedora, Debian (stable) and NixOS. One-click installers exist for OS X (only Intel) and Microsoft Windows.


      Versions


      Originally, in 2009, the Haskell Platform aimed at a periodic 6-month release cycle. Starting with 7.10.2 which was released July 29, 2015, it has followed the release cycle of GHC and has since used the same version numbering scheme.


      Deprecation


      In 2022, the Haskell Platform was deprecated, and is no longer an actively supported or recommended way of installing Haskell.
