Greetings! Now, can different compiler/interpreter authors make statements about support of this standard in their compilers please?
Jhc supports all the language features of haskell 2010 except pattern guards. (ironic as I am a huge fan of said feature.) The library situation is more complicated, there is tension between haskell 98, haskell 2010, and supporting code in the wild, which often assumes some specific version of ghc's base, which doesn't quite conform to either. My current thinking is to give up supporting base directly as a clone of ghc's and rather support just haskell 98 and haskell 2010 modes "natively", then compatability libraries (called things like ghc-base-4 and ghc-base-3 perhaps) would be independent projects and not tied to jhc releases. jhc 0.7.4 which supports garbage collection and a speedier runtime and better support for external build systems will be out soon. My goal is one more point release before 0.8.0 which will have full haskell 2010 and 98 support. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈ - http://notanumber.net/
