__TOC__
−
There are now more than 500 libraries available for Haskell, on
  
−
[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.

== What's in the platform ==

Some, such as Arch Linux, or Gentoo Linux, include as many libraries as
  
−
possible (typically over 400), while others have the bare minimum
  
−
required to build ghc and say, darcs and xmonad.
  
   
  +
See the official [http://www.haskell.org/platform/changelog.html Haskell Platform Changelog].

The Haskell community needs to provide direction and blessing to a

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.

=== Developers ===
−
* GHC would build against its own core libraries, but would be generally distributed with the HLP.
  
   
  +
* New [https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/wiki/ Haskell Platform Wiki]
−
* The HLP should provide good coverage for all typical tasks one might want to accomplish with the language, given library availability.
  
  +
* Old [http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ Trac wiki]
   
  +
== Buttons ==
−
* 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.

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.
