Sorry if questions are too stupid and too newbish, but anyway. I need some explanations.
I see that GNU doesn't endorse Haskell https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/List-of-Programming-Languages.html

Is GHC libre compatible or not https://www.haskell.org/ghc/license.html ?
I tried to install:

haskell-platform

Installs fine. If it is in packages then it is OK, isn't it? Or any other options are available to program for Haskell in Trisquel?

Thank you, friends.

It is not that GNU does not (morally) endorse Haskell, it is that GNU gettext does not (technically) support Haskell. GNU gettext is for the internationalization of a program, i.e., having it speak whatever language (Chinese, Spanish, French, etc.) the user prefers.

I am not aware of any freedom issue with tools around Haskell.
