Not exactly: Time and CPUTime are also missing.

You can use another Haskell implementation:


ghc - A big and rich compiler. May be hard to install because of
dependencies on various tools. Provides many language extensions
and libraries.

nhc98 - Smaller than ghc but larger than Hugs. Provides a little
more than Haskell 98. Compiles faster than ghc but programs execute
more slowly.

hbc - No longer maintained. Didn't reach Haskell 98. Compiles fast
and programs run quite fast.


A note about sources of these compilers: nhc98 is written in nice and
clean standard Haskell (but I haven't looked deeply); ghc is written
in itself and sometimes can be hard to understand; hbc is written in
LazyML and almost nobody except its author understands it. Hugs is
an interpreter written in C and I'm not sure how clearly it is written.
