retard: > - a new llvm based backend which is a lot faster I guess most people on Reddit has not read the original thesis. The LLVM Haskell back-end: - Needs less code to be used by the front-end, this is quite positive for them. - LLVM compiles better certain heavy numerical kernels. So if you want to use Haskell for number crunching LLVM is better. While most of other Haskell code becomes a little slower.
