One thing for 8.4: there have been a series of performance improvements in ghc --make and GHCi, with some quite dramatic improvements on very large programs (1K+ modules). Bartosz can supply more details. On 3 September 2017 at 14:15, Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> wrote:
Ben, Simon, and ghc-devs
I have to write slides for the GHC status talk in the Haskell Implementor’s meeting.
Usually we have
1. Current status (current release) 2. What’s cooking for the next release 3. GHC community comments
As background we have
- Our Apr 17 status page <https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/Apr17> - Our 8.2 release notes <https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.2.1/docs/html/users_guide/8.2.1-notes.html> - Our 8.4 status page <https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-8.4.1>
What would you put under (1-3)? Anything you’d like to see highlighted?
