history

Project history and usage

The Homebrew `ghc@9.10` formula packages the GHC 9.10 branch of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. It serves projects that need that branch's compiler, GHCi, boot libraries, Haddock, and version-suffixed executables rather than the general `ghc` formula.

Project history

GHC began at the University of Glasgow near the beginning of the 1990s as an academic research project funded by the UK government. Its goals were to make a robust and portable Haskell compiler freely available, provide a modular foundation for research, and learn from real programs.

The GHC 9.10 branch belongs to the long-running stable-branch tradition documented by the user guide: even-numbered minor branches are stable, patch releases are bug-fix releases, and installing a new patchlevel can require rebuilding code compiled against older libraries.

Adoption history

GHC became the compiler around which most practical Haskell development, Hackage packaging, and teaching material clustered. For package managers, a formula such as `ghc@9.10` matters because Haskell projects often pin compiler branches while library bounds, language extensions, and generated interfaces catch up.

Homebrew presents `ghc@9.10` as a separate installable formula with the same Glasgow Haskell Compilation System description as the main formula. That version-track packaging gives macOS users a branch-specific compiler without replacing every GHC installation path.

How it is used

Practitioners install a versioned formula when a Cabal or Stack project expects GHC 9.10, when CI must match a project matrix, or when testing a package against a specific compiler branch. The executables include both generic names and 9.10-suffixed names, making scripts able to choose the intended compiler.

The underlying workflow remains normal GHC usage: compile with `ghc`, explore code in `ghci`, run scripts with `runghc`, inspect package databases with `ghc-pkg`, and generate API docs with Haddock.

Why package nerds care

Versioned GHC packages are important because the compiler, boot libraries, package database, and generated interface files form one compatibility unit. A branch-specific Homebrew formula is a small packaging mechanism for a large ecosystem constraint.

Timeline

  • Early 1990s: GHC began as a Glasgow research project.
  • 2007: The user guide documented GHC's even-numbered stable-branch versioning policy starting with GHC 6.8.
  • 2024: GHC 9.10.1 was released as the first listed 9.10 release on the GHC download page.
  • 2026 batch input: The Homebrew package record listed 9.10.3-suffixed executables.

Related projects

  • Cabal and Stack commonly drive GHC for project builds.
  • Hackage packages publish compiler-version constraints that make branch-specific GHC installations useful.
  • GHCup provides another official Haskell installation path for selecting GHC versions.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for ghc@9.10. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • Homebrew declares a post-install hook for this formula.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Build metadata lists 5 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
