GHCi allows us to mix fixed compiled and dynamic interpreted code to be run from what I presume is dynamic interpreted code - the command prompt. Would it be possible to run dynamic interpreted code from a compiled program? I'm hoping the answer is "Yes, because this is what GHCi does", the only problem being to clean up the syntax and document it.
It's certainly possible, but bear in mind that you'd have to link in essentially the whole of GHCi into your program in order to do it! But one of the things on our wish list is to have a clearly defined interface to the underlying compilation/session manager, (i.e. what we've been calling the HEP, or Haskell Execution Platform). This would allow you to plug in new user interfaces, make interpreted COM objects, and in general have Haskell compilation/execution services available from a Haskell API. There's still work to do in deciding exactly what this API should look like, though. Cheers, Simon
