RE: Modifying GHC to accept external Styx code

| I want to use GHC as a backend for my experimental compiler. | I'm trying to modify it to accept styx code from my compiler, and I'm | having some trouble working out where I need to make changes. In truth, | GHC is more haskell code than I've ever seen before in one place, and I'm | a bit lost: can anyone suggest which modules I should become familiar with | and which I should leave alone? You don't say what 'styx code' is. My advice: either translate styx to Haskell, or to External Core. (Probably the latter.) GHC can read both of these in without modification. External Core is a typed lambda calculus. Simon
