According to "A history of Haskell: being lazy with class", the LML prototype was indeed used to bootstrap the first Haskell version of GHC. Regards, Jonas On 30 August 2012 17:27, Jonas Almström Duregård wrote:

Hi,

According to the GHC wikipedia page, a prototype was written in Lazy ML. Whether this prototype was used to bootstrap the Haskell version is not specified.

Hi all,

I'm curious if the first implementation of GHC was in a different language before its current instance could be developed. If yes, what language was used? If not, what compiler was first used to compile GHC?

Thank you, Daniel
