They're versions of the same thing, and 9.12.1 was chronologically before 9.10.3. It looks like you can find the entire chronology at https://www.haskell.org/g

- yawaramin 11mo agoOK, side note, whoever decides the GHC release numbers should be pulled aside and given a quick talk about how version numbers are supposed to work. Anyway, looks like or-patterns just landed as a GHC extension: foo (Bar; Baz) = 0 I still like OCaml's (built-in) syntax better: let foo (Bar | Baz) = 0 Which I feel stems from its elegant decision to use the pipe character as the 'alternative pattern prefix': let foo = function | Bar | Baz -> 0

Haskell keeps maintaining multiple versions of the toolchain.
- antonvs 11mo agoThat release numbering is pretty common for programming languages. People are still using older supported versions, which still get incremental upgrades. Other languages that do this include Python, Java, Go, Node.js, Ruby, PHP, C#.
