Our current default compiler is GHC 8.6.x and the `haskellPackages` set
Our current default compiler is GHC 8.8.x and the `haskellPackages` set
contains packages built with that particular version. Nixpkgs contains the last
three major releases of GHC and there is a whole family of package sets
available that defines Hackage packages built with each of those compilers,
too:
```shell
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc844
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc882
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc865
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc8101
```
The name `haskellPackages` is really just a synonym for
`haskell.packages.ghc865`, because we prefer that package set internally and
`haskell.packages.ghc882`, because we prefer that package set internally and
recommend it to our users as their default choice, but ultimately you are free
to compile your Haskell packages with any GHC version you please. The following
command displays the complete list of available compilers:
