It based on Niklas Rojemo's nhc13, a +compiler for an earlier version of the language. Written in Haskell, +it is small and very portable, and aims to produce small executables +that run in small amounts of memory. It also comes with extensive tool +support. + +With hmake, a replacement for the other makes used in Haskell +development, the big advantage is that you don't have to write a +Makefile - the tools extract dependencies automatically from your +source files, and issue appropriate commands to rebuild your target. + +Greencard is a foreign-language interface. It is a preprocessor for +Haskell which allows Haskell functions to call C. This allows access +to operating system services and other libraries. + +Hat is a source-level tracer for Haskell which gives the user access +to otherwise invisible information about a computation and helps the +programmer to understand how a program works or why it does not. |
