Haskell Platform
The Haskell Platform is a collection of software packages, tools and libraries that create a common platform for using and developing applications in Haskell. With the Haskell Platform, Haskell follows the same principle as Python: "Batteries included". Motivation. The Haskell Platform aims to unify Haskell development tools into a single package, consisting of a compiler, compiling tools and many standard libraries, therefore making it easier to develop and deploy full-featured Haskell-driven applications. Packages included. Currently it consists of: Deployment. It is available for Ubuntu, Arch Linux, FreeBSD, Gentoo Linux (x86-64 and x86), Fedora, Debian (stable ) and NixOS. One-click installers exist for OS X (only Intel) and Microsoft Windows. Versions. Originally, the Haskell Platform aimed at a 6-months release cycle. Starting with 7.10.2 which was released July 29, 2015, it has followed the release cycle of GHC and has since used the same version numbering scheme.
