− | The Haskell Platform (HP) is the name of a new "blessed" library suite on which to build further Haskell libraries and applications, by taking the best libraries from the nearly 800 libraries of [http://hackage.haskell.org haskell.org]. It provides a comprehensive, stable and quality tested base for Haskell projects to work from. |
