That lets you load "object files." But I would really like something that loads source files instead....
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/hs-plugins/index.html hs-plugins can build and load source, and check dependencies, and lots more. Also, check out hws-wp that's a modified version of Simon Marlow's web server that includes an apache-style plugin framework. In my opinion, you can steal a lot of the ideas there or just hack hws-wp to use hs-plugins. You'll probably want to use Don's recent strategy of dynloading everything on a tiny static core, otherwise you'll run across incomparable values where the static and dynamic type tables don't mesh. David Himmelstrup has been profiling Halipeto recently. I think a combination of Halipeto and either WASH-CGI or HaXML would work nicely. Add HaskellDB for sane database access, and you've nearly surpassed J2EE for features. I heard rumors that the HaskellDB guys are massaging HaskellDB to work with hs-plugins too. For other useful web application server features, Björn Bringert's XmlRpc library is nice. -- Shae Matijs Erisson - Programmer - http://www.ScannedInAvian.org/ "I will, as we say in rock 'n' roll, run until the wheels come off, because I love what I do." -- David Crosby
