nhc98

nhc98 is a small, easy to install, standards-compliant compiler for Haskell 98, the lazy functional programming language. It is very portable, and aims to produce small executables that run in small amounts of memory. It produces medium-fast code, and compilation is itself quite fast. It also comes with extensive tool support for automatic compilation, foreign language interfacing, heap and time profiling, tracing, and debugging. (Some of its advanced kinds of heap profiles are not found in any other Haskell compiler.)

nhc98 is available for all Unix-like platforms (including MacOS-X, Cygwin/Windows, Linux, Solaris, *BSD, AIX, HP-UX, Ultrix, IRIX, etc.) Although it is itself written in standard Haskell 98, it can be quickly and easily bootstrapped from C sources, so you do not need another Haskell compiler to get started.

nhc98 is currently restricted to 32-bit machine architectures, or 64-bit machines that have a 32-bit compatibility mode.
