The Haskell Library Platform (HLP) is the name of a proposed library set
The Haskell Platform is a single, standard [[Haskell]] development environment for everyone. It offers a set of blessed libraries and tools, to save you the task of picking and choosing which core Haskell libraries to use.
that would be the minimum standard for Haskell library support on a
system.


More generally, if we want tools as well as libraries, then the simpler name

''Haskell Platform'' may be more appropriate.


There are now more than 500 libraries available for Haskell,  on
__TOC__
[http://hackage.haskell.org hackage]. Choosing which libraries to
support on a distro is currently done on an ad hoc basis, with
significant variation from one distribution to another.


Some, such as Arch Linux, or Gentoo Linux, include as many libraries as

required to build ghc and say, darcs and xmonad.

library set that should be available and adopted, to further encourage
Haskell use.


Ensuring that the chosen set of library versions works well together, and
with a particular version of GHC (and other tools), is a major goal.

== Trouble shooting ==


* [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cvs.ghc/28062/focus=28807 A discussion] took place in June and July 2008 about the direction of the HLP.

==Criteria==


* GHC would build against its own core libraries, but would be generally distributed with the HLP.
=== Developers ===


* The HLP should provide good coverage for all typical tasks one might want to accomplish with the language, given library availability.
* New [https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/wiki/ Haskell Platform Wiki]
* Old [http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ Trac wiki]


* No bottlenecks: release of the HLP should be entirely independent from GHC, and also independent of the development cycle of any individual library or tool.

What else might we consider?
 
* DrIFT or derive

* c2hs
* hsc2hs

The Haskell Platform


The Haskell Platform is a single, standard Haskell development environment for everyone. It offers a set of blessed libraries and tools, to save you the task of picking and choosing which core Haskell libraries to use.
