Which reminds me about another question I had -- the main reason to have the specialized module in GHC (instead of relying on the Hoopl one) is performance, right? Yes. If you're interested you might look at ghc-devs archives from July and August 2013 - I was doing MSR internship at that time and I had some questions about Hoopl. You might find these helpful or interesting (well, answers, not questions :-) ).

Also Ning Wang and Andreas Voellmy have taken over maintainership of Hoopl Sadly, this is not what Hackage says.

, so they would be good people to talk to.

Hi,

I've just read through the Hoopl paper and then noticed https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/HooplPerformance which is really interesting. But it seems that there were no updates to the page in like 3 years, yet the new codegen seems to be using Hoopl... Does anyone know what is the current status of this?

Thanks, Michal

There was some delay in pushing the latest hoopl to hackage, but it is done now and Ning and I are also listed as maintainers now. -Andi On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 7:09 AM, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

well perhaps they have not yet uploaded a new version. But I believe it's as agreed with all parties.
