Haskell Platform

{{Blockquote|The quality of a programming language itself is only one component in the ability of application writers to get the job done. Programming languages can succeed or fail based on the breadth and quality of their library collection.}}

The Haskell Platform aims to unify Haskell development tools into a single package, consisting of a compiler, compiling tools, and many standard libraries, thereby making it easier to develop and deploy full-featured Haskell-based applications.

The last versions consist of:{{cite web |url=http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html |title=Download Haskell Platform |website=Hackage.haskell.org |access-date=28 September 2018}}

Originally, in 2009, the Haskell Platform aimed at a periodic 6-month release cycle.{{Cite web |url=http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/ReleaseTimetable |title=ReleaseTimetable – haskell-platform |access-date=2010-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110312093149/http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/ReleaseTimetable |archive-date=2011-03-12 |url-status=dead}} Starting with 7.10.2 which was released July 29, 2015, it has followed the release cycle of GHC and has since used the same version numbering scheme.{{citation needed|date=November 2016}}

In 2022, the Haskell Platform was deprecated, and is no longer an actively supported or recommended way of installing Haskell.{{cite web |url=https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/issues/350 |title=Archive this repository haskell/haskell-platform |issue=350 |website=GitHub}}
