🐒 Stable Haskell

Making Haskell predictable, stable, and actually fun to use in production! πŸš€

Ever had GHC break your build on a Friday afternoon? Or spent hours debugging why your perfectly fine code stopped compiling after a toolchain update? Yeah, we've been there too. That's why we're building Stable Haskell – because life's too short for compiler surprises!

🎯 What's This All About?

Stable Haskell is like having that super experienced Haskell dev on your team who always knows how to fix the weird GHC issues. Except it's a whole distribution, and it never takes vacation days. πŸ˜„

We're bringing you:

  • πŸŽͺ No More Surprise Parties: Predictable releases that won't break your builds
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Battle-Tested Stability: LTS releases that actually mean Long-Term Support
  • 🦸 GHC Wizards on Speed Dial: Get help from the folks who literally build GHC

πŸ’ͺ Who's Behind This Magic?

Plot twist: We're not just random Haskell enthusiasts (though we are enthusiastic!). Our team includes the actual humans who built:

  • πŸ”’ GHC's Native Bignum Backend – Making those integers go brrr
  • 🦾 AArch64 Native Code Generator – ARM never looked so good
  • 🌐 JavaScript Backend in GHC – Because sometimes you need Haskell in your browser
  • πŸ“¦ GHCup – The installer that actually worksβ„’
  • πŸ—οΈ haskell.nix – Reproducible builds that don't make you cry
  • 🎯 Cross-Compilation Magic – Windows, iOS, Android? We got you!
  • πŸ”— GHC's In-Memory Loader & Linker – The deep magic stuff
  • πŸš€ And tons more cool internals!

Plus, we're huge believers in giving back – we upstream our fixes to GHC and Cabal because a rising tide lifts all lambdas! 🌊

πŸŽ‰ Why You'll Love It

  • Less Yak Shaving: Spend time writing code, not fighting your toolchain
  • Ship Faster: Stable tools = happy developers = features shipped on time
  • Sleep Better: Your production Haskell apps won't randomly break at 3 AM

🐒 Why a Turtle?

Because we believe in the philosophy: Slow and steady wins the race! Our mascot represents reliability, longevity, and the wisdom to know that sometimes moving carefully is the fastest way forward. Plus, turtles are adorable. πŸ’πŸ’š
