<h3>Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC)</h3>
<div>
<p>GHC is an open source compiler and programming suite for Haskell, a lazy
functional programming language. It includes an optimizing static compiler
generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive
system for convenient, quick development.</p>
<p>GHC 7.0 and onwards include an LLVM code generator, supporting LLVM 2.8 and
later.</p>
</div>
<h3>Pure</h3>
<div>
<p>Pure (http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/) is an algebraic/functional
programming language based on term rewriting. Programs are collections of
equations which are used to evaluate expressions in a symbolic fashion. The
interpreter uses LLVM as a backend to JIT-compile Pure programs to fast
native code. Pure offers dynamic typing, eager and lazy evaluation, lexical
closures, a hygienic macro system (also based on term rewriting), built-in
list and matrix support (including list and matrix comprehensions) and an
easy-to-use interface to C and other programming languages (including the
ability to load LLVM bitcode modules, and inline C, C++, Fortran and Faust
code in Pure programs if the corresponding LLVM-enabled compilers are
installed).</p>
<p>Pure version 0.54 has been tested and is known to work with LLVM 3.1 (and
continues to work with older LLVM releases >= 2.5).</p>
