Hey LOR!
A new version of the excellent Haskell compiler has quietly and unnoticed been released. GHC has been developed by the developer community since 1992 and supports compilation of Haskell to native code both directly and using the LLVM toolchain.
Among the features of the new version:
- An extension to the OrPatterns language that allows a common handler to be shared across multiple pattern matching branches;
- Support for multi-line string literals via special syntax: """string""";
- Experimental support for the RISC-V architecture and support for SIMD instructions for the x86 architecture have been added to the compiler backend (previously, LLVM was required);
- Removed support for 32-bit versions of Windows and MacOS/iOS. Support for 32-bit Linux and BSD-based systems is intact;
- Improved garbage collector performance. In some cases, program performance may increase by 25%;
- And many other small features, bug fixes, etc.
