Haskell Optimization Handbook

by Jeffrey M. Young

This book assumes you are using ghc |ghcVersion| or above and using the Linux operating system. If you are new then the best place to start is the :doc:`How to use this book </src/Preliminaries/how_to_use>` chapter. If you are returning then feel free to jump to the :ref:`mastertoc` and best wishes. It is dangerous to go alone, please take this handbook and good luck!

Sincerely,

The :doc:`Contributors </src/contributors>` of the Haskell Optimization Handbook.

Sponsors

While there are a number of community contributors to the book, the main author and project lead is Jeffrey M. Young, who was generously sponsored in this work by Input Output Global.
