Hello, LOR!
A new version of the magnificent Haskell language compiler has been quietly released. GHC has been developed by a community of developers since 1992 and supports compiling Haskell to native code both directly and using the LLVM toolkit.
Among the features of the new version:
- Extension of the OrPatterns language, allowing a single handler for multiple pattern match branches;
- Support for multi-line string literals using the special syntax: """string""";
- Experimental support for the RISC-V architecture has been added to the compiler backend, along with support for SIMD instructions for the x86 architecture (previously required using LLVM);
- Support for 32-bit versions of Windows and MacOS/iOS has been removed. Support for 32-bit systems running on Linux and BSD remains intact;
- Garbage collector performance has been improved. In some cases, program execution speed may increase by 25%;
- And many other small features, bug fixes, and so on.
