Haskell Programming Language Documentation

Getting Started

Learn how to get started with Haskell through our official documentation. Whether you're new or experienced, these resources will help you get up to speed.

• Install Haskell: Download and install GHC from the official website.
• Setup Project: Use `stack` or `ghc` to manage your project dependencies.
• Run Code: Use `runhaskell` or `hsodir` to run your Haskell programs.

Features

Haskell offers a unique set of features that make it a preferred choice for many developers:

• Purely Functional: All computations are performed in a stateless way.
• Lazy Evaluation: Values are computed on demand, which helps with performance and memory management.
• Type-Safe: Haskell's strong type system ensures type safety without sacrificing performance.
• Concurrency: Built-in support for threads and asynchronous operations.

Examples

Here are some simple examples to give you an idea of what Haskell can do:

runhaskell Main.hs

Replace the above code with a simple Hello World program:

main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn "Hello, world!"

You can also find more examples in the Hackage package repository.
