- Developer Community for Visual Studio Product family. Reported by Haskell Daniel Feb 28 at 08:16 PM Azure DevOps. I've enabled the new dashboard experience and love the idea of setting security on a dashboard-by-dashboard basis.
- I've switched to VS Code for all my Haskell development, not because it's great, but because it was better than Atom, and seemed to be better better supported than Sublime was. The integration with Haskero works well, and there are heaps of other useful extensions for other languages I deal with occasionally.
What is GHC?
On Mac, Stack is available from Homebrew. To make things even more interesting, I decided to test Visual Studio Code. While I’m not charmed by Code, it provides a solid Haskell support via Haskell Syntax Highlighting and Haskell ghc-mod packages. It gave me type hints, auto-completion, and allowed for running GHCI (Haskell’s.
GHC is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and interactive environment for the functional language Haskell. Highlights:
Node.js
- GHC supports the entire Haskell 2010 language plus a wide variety of extensions.
- GHC has particularly good support for concurrency and parallelism, including support for Software Transactional Memory (STM).
- GHC generates fast code, particularly for concurrent programs. Take a look at GHC's performance on The Computer Language Benchmarks Game.
- GHC works on several platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, most varieties of Unix, and several different processor architectures. There are detailed instructions for porting GHC to a new platform.
- GHC has extensive optimisation capabilities, including inter-module optimisation.
- GHC compiles Haskell code either directly to native code or using LLVM as a back-end. GHC can also generate C code as an intermediate target for porting to new platforms. The interactive environment compiles Haskell to bytecode, and supports execution of mixed bytecode/compiled programs.
- Profiling is supported, both by time/allocation and various kinds of heap profiling.
- GHC comes with several libraries, and thousands more are available on Hackage.
GHC is heavily dependent on its users and contributors. Please come and join the mailing lists and send us your comments, suggestions, bug reports and contributions!
