+nhc98 is a fully-fledged compiler for Haskell 98, the standard lazy
+functional programming language. 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.
