The GHC team is very pleased to announce the availability of GHC 9.6.1-alpha1. As usual, binaries and source distributions are available at downloads.haskell.org: https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.6.1-alpha1/ This is the first alpha release in the 9.6 series which will bring a number of exciting features: * A new Javascript code generation backend * A new WebAssembly code generation backend, * Significant latency improvements in the non-moving garbage collector * Support for loading of multiple components in GHCi * Efficient support for delimited continuations * Improvements in error messages * Numerous improvements in compiler-residency Note that both the Javascript and WebAssembly backends are still in a state of infancy and are present in this release as a technology preview; we hope that they will mature considerably before the final 9.6.1 release. Please give this release a try and open a [ticket] if you see anything amiss. Cheers, - Ben [ticket]: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/
