> Hi, I am pleased to announce jhc 0.6.0, It has been a long time since an
> official release, so there have been a lot of changes. Jhc is an
> optimizing haskell compiler that focuses on creating fast and portable
> code. Jhc is still mainly of interest to jhc hackers and developers than
> the general haskell public, but it is starting to see use in embedded
> development with haskell so I decided to make more public announcements
> of major releases in the future.

>
> jhc now comes bundled with the 'containers' and 'applicative' library
> making it much easier to compile many haskell programs out there.
> (Data.Graph, Data.IntMap, Data.IntSet, Data.Map, Data.Sequence,
> Data.Set, Data.Tree, Control.Applicative, Control.Arrow,
> Control.Category, Data.Foldable, Data.Traversable)

> signifigant speed and resource usage improvements in compilation time.

> unix box. (or iPhone/Nokia Tablet/etc..)
