-GHC: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler.
+Haskell is the standard lazy purely functional programming language.
+The current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998,
+with a revised version published in January 2003.
+
+A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
+specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references,
+contact information, links to research groups) are available from
+the Haskell home page at http://haskell.org/.
 
 The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising
-compiler for the functional programming language Haskell 98
-(http://www.haskell.org). GHC compiles Haskell to either native code
-or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to

+good code for a variety of platforms. GHC is a state-of-the-art
+programming suite for Haskell and compiles Haskell to either native
+code or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to
 Haskell, including concurrency, a foreign language interface, several
 type-system extensions, exceptions, and so on. GHC comes with a
-generational garbage collector, a space and time profiler, and a
-comprehensive set of libraries.

+The profiling libraries for Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System
