GHC
HEAT does not yet support using GHC
The Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) is the most popular Haskell compiler. It consists of two components: an open source compiler(GHC) and an interactive environment for Haskell (GHCi). GHC can be used with GHCi by loading modules directly into an interactive session. This compiles the modules and uses them in the same way as interpreted code.  
Speed GHC takes longer for compilation than Hugs, but the compiled code evaluates much faster. GHC provides many options for optimising code.  
Key Features GHC's features include:
  • Support for the entire Haskell 98 language, plus a wide variety of extensions
  • Runs on different platforms, including Windows and most UNIX's
  • Has extensive optimisation capabilities
  • Supports generating native code on some platforms, in addition to compiling via an intermediate C compiler
  • Has a profiling system which allows investigation into time and space requirements for the evaluation of an expression
  • Fast pre-compiled library code and fast compile turnaround for the parts of a program being actively developed
