Does he define GHC anywhere in the article? Any idea what that might be?

  https://www.haskell.org/ghc/ https://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The canonical haskell compiler.

    At this point, I think it's fair to say that GHC is the Haskell compiler.

  As for why he doesn't define it: he's been one of two primary authors of GHC for over 20 years. He assumed anyone reading his blog would already be aware of that, because why else would they be reading his blog?

    I dunno, maybe because people link to stuff without context?

      Googling "Simon Marlow" gives the following: > Simon Marlow is a British computer programmer, author, and co-developer of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. He and Simon Peyton Jones won the SIGPLAN Programming Languages Software Award in 2011 for their work on GHC.
