#8255: GC Less Operation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sirinath | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: lowest | Milestone: _|_ Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime | Difficulty: Project (more performance bug | than a week) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by carter): With all due respect Sirinth, if you wish for a no gc language, you should look at Rust-lang, the sort type system machinery needed to safely doing no GC is very different from the style GHC / haskell currently supports. The differences needed are quite substantial, and any effort to adjoin them to GHC would be quite a substantial type system research project, in addition to all the attendant systems engineering. unless you have a concrete type system and engineering roadmap for such experimentation, this discussion is better on haskell-cafe or another community forum. We've given you a number of background reading references to help you understand the nuances attendant with the goals you want (which are valuable, but HARD goals). That said, if you have specific *detailed* technical insights, please share them with us. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8255#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
