An open- source product of more than twenty years of cutting-edge research, it allows rapid development of robust, concise, correct software. With strong support for integration with other languages, built-in concurrency and parallelism, debuggers, profilers, rich libraries and an active community, Haskell makes it easier to produce flexible, maintainable, high-quality software. Haskell packages currently live in devel:languages:haskell project Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Most other major distributions have it: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/linux.html openSUSE is only to be found under "Information for other systems" Haskell is required by several applications that users have asked for: * Version control system darcs: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2012-07/msg00132.html * Pandoc markdown processor: https://features.opensuse.org/312777 * xmonad tiling display manager * hedgewars server -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314446
