It is a fork of the JHC compiler, which should be easier to look up. There is also Hugs, as you mentioned. In addition, you may want to look at YHC and NHC.
Yeah, the "implementations" page on the Wiki basically says that there's GHC and Hugs, and there's also these things called YHC, NHC and JHC. All the documentation I've read makes these latter compilers sound highly experimental and unusable.
I would't call nhc experimental; it's quite usable, at least for standard Haskell-98 stuff (plus some language extensions).
How old is nhc? I've always thought of it as one of the "big three",
but I don't really know how far back it goes compared to ghc.
