- ot 14y agoTypical case of "redundant acronym syndrome syndrome" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAS_syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAS_syndrome
- dllthomas 14y agoSlightly more severe than typical - two words are duplicated.

- anonymouz 14y agoIt's the Haskell compiler they use to compile the GHC ;).
- jackpirate 14y agoWhich conveniently happens to be GHC! (In case anyone missed the joke.)
