Jhc

Jhc is a compiler for the Haskell programming language, designed to produce highly optimized native code for various platforms. It focuses on performance and efficiency, often generating faster executables compared to other Haskell compilers like GHC. Jhc supports a subset of Haskell 98 and includes its own runtime system and libraries.

Also known as: Jhc Haskell Compiler, John's Haskell Compiler, JHC, jhc-haskell, Jhc compiler

Why learn Jhc?

Developers should learn Jhc when they need to write high-performance Haskell applications, especially for embedded systems or resource-constrained environments where execution speed and memory usage are critical. It is particularly useful for projects requiring low-level optimization or cross-compilation to non-standard architectures, such as in systems programming or real-time applications.
