Tech stack & purpose

This is the source repository for GHC, the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, a compiler and interactive environment for the Haskell functional programming language. GHC is written in Haskell itself and is built using Hadrian, a build system based on the Shake library. The project is a community effort developed by researchers, individual contributors, and full-time developers, with contributions governed by a core group as described in the repository's governance documentation. Building GHC requires several tools including Happy, Alex, Cabal, and a pre-existing GHC installation, along with optional tools like Haddock for library documentation and Sphinx for compiler documentation.
