Hi, What language is the Haskell compiler writter in ? Is it in Haskell itself just like gcc is written in 'C' ? Thanks, Shishir Srivastava

It's written in haskell. And a lot of other stuff (including C).

There's more than one Haskell compiler, just like there's more than one C compiler. As others have noted, the most popular one (ghc) is written in haskell. You can find a list of implementations in the wiki: https://wiki.haskell.org/Implementations. On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 8:24 AM, Shishir Srivastava < shishir.srivastava@gmail.com> wrote:
