Summary     : the Glasgow Haskell Compiler
Description :
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System (GHC) is a robust,
fully-featured, optimising compiler for the functional programming
language Haskell 98.  GHC 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.

Haskell 98 is "the" standard lazy functional programming language.
More info plus the language definition is at http://www.haskell.org/.

Summary     : parser generator system for Haskell
Description :
Happy is a parser generator system for Haskell, similar to the tool
`yacc' for C. Like `yacc', it
takes a file containing an annotated BNF specification of a grammar and
produces a Haskell module
containing a parser for the grammar.

Happy is flexible; unlike `yacc', you can have several Happy parsers in
the same program. Happy can
work in conjunction with a lexical analyser supplied by the user (either
hand-written or generated
by another program), or it can parse a stream of characters directly
(but this isn't practical in
most cases).

PS: the packages seem to "need" each other during the build. How can
these things be
built if neither of them is installed on the system?
