Out of curiosity, what problems does Haskell's compiler(s) (I think it's really just GHC these days?) face that OCaml's doesn't?

Out of curiosity, what problems does Haskell's compiler(s) (I think it's really just GHC these days?) face that OCaml's doesn't?
- AzzieElbab 5y agospeed. Ocaml compiler is probably as fast as Go one
- pjmlp 5y agoGHC has many backends and there is GHCi as well. No need to always go through the slowest path.
- Zababa 5y agoThe regular backend is the fastest according to their docs: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/codegens.html https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_gu.... Having an interactive toplevel isn't a substitute for fast compilation (and OCaml has both).
