For implementation, there are two routes. Either totally built-in, or using a Core-to-Core plug-in. The thing I like about the latter is that it can be done without having GHC HQ in the critical path, because we (I) tend to slow things down, being a uniprocesor. We don't have the plug-in capability yet, but I'm encouraging Max to polish it up so that we do. I think it'd be a very valuable facility.
as GHC popularity grows, it may become more profitable to spend resources making it more open, pluggable "compiler factory" rather than doing everything yourself -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
