GHCup

GHCup is an installer for the general purpose language Haskell.

GHCup makes it easy to install specific versions of GHC on GNU/Linux, macOS (aka Darwin), FreeBSD and Windows and can also bootstrap a fresh Haskell developer environment from scratch. It follows the unix UNIX philosophy of do one thing and do it well. Similar in scope to rustup, pyenv and jenv.
