Hi, There is an exceptional number of changes stated for the next release. * Better pattern matching coverage detection * New windows IO manager * Linear types * Large-scale typechecker changes - Taming the Kind Inference Monster, simplified subsumption * Better register allocation, improving runtime by 0.8% according to release notes * ghc-bignum * Explicit specificity and eager instantiation * Qualified do * Lexical negation * Perhaps Quick Look will manage to land Should we call it GHC 9.0? I think the name would be deserved.
