The Haskell Platform is batteries-included; it ships with gcc, binutils, bash 
et al. IIRC, you can opt not to install those if you wish, but they install by 
default.

Alternatively, people can now install Chicken through the Bash package that 
Microsoft ships in the Windows store. It's just Ubuntu without the kernel.

It's not very clear how beneficial this is, since in order to use the
compiler, you'll need gcc and gmake anyway. (If you just want a Scheme
interpreter, there are probably better choices than Chicken, though it
does have some nice eggs.)
