I would like to explore making a backend for .NET. I've done a lot of background reading about previous .NET and JVM attempts for Haskell. It seems like several folks have made significant progress in the past and, with the exception of UHC, I can't find any code around the internet from the previous efforts. I realize that in total it's a huge undertaking and codegen is only one of several significant hurdles to success.
Someone should start a wiki page about this! It comes up regularly. (That doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea; just that we should share wisdom on it.) Maybe there is one, in which case perhaps it could be updated?
There's the FAQ entry about this, which I believe you wrote: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC:FAQ#Why_isn.27t_GHC_available_for_.NE... It's on the Haskell wiki, so people could update it with more recent info. Cheers, Simon
