Personally, I prefer to separate the name of the language from the name of the development tools, because I think that causes unnecessary confusion. End-users do not need to care about Haskell, unlike Java since they need the JRE, so potential developers and students are the audience. This group needs the Haskell Platform for developing with Haskell, and having the tools referred to as "Haskell Platform" is clear enough (imho) without having to call the tools "Haskell."
I think the partial confusion here is that most "newer" languages have the same name as their defacto implementation (Python [though the implementation is technically CPython], Perl, Ruby, etc.). Whilst Haskell has other implementations apart from GHC, none of the others are as featureful, etc. So pretty much if you want "Haskell", then you want GHC. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
