I've heard that there are a plethora of Haskell compilers available. Which others give performance comparable to GHC?
Jhc - experimental whole program compiler. slightly better than jhc, but not by much due to a lack of manpower. in the spirit of "get it right, then optimize" currently takes several minutes to compile 10-line programs. :) Hbc - The haskell compiler. Augustsson and Johnsson's pioneering work on compiling lazy languages is embodied in hbc, a direct descendant of the Lazy ML compiler. Generally ~30% slower than GHC, and occasionally faster - rather suprising for a compiler that hasn't been improved in over a decade. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/nobench/x86_64/results.html Stefan
