Re: [Haskell-beginners] GHC-generated executables size

2010/10/17 Daniel Fischer :

$ cat helloWorld.hs module Main (main) where

main :: IO () main = putStrLn "Hello, World!" $ ghc --make helloWorld.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( helloWorld.hs, helloWorld.o ) Linking helloWorld ... $ ls -l helloWorld -rwxr-xr-x 1 dafis users 618581 17. Okt 13:53 helloWorld

jhc makes remarkably small executables, this example takes 11268 bytes, 5756 when stripped. Sad that many libraries, and gtk2hs don't work with it. David.
