I recently asked you who knows how to link haskell-made code to C apps, or call haskell code from C code, or encapsulate, traduce, Haskell code in C code. I just want to use haskell when I need advanced algorithms, & C for I/O, and GUI (under windows).. If my question has been answered yet, or if my english is too bad, please say me, or give me links to answers. Thanks.

Everything is in the title. I like "simplicity" of Haskell and would like to use what i write in my c/c++ programs. Thanks a lot by advance.
I guess, there are people who have tried, but failed :-) The easiest way would be to make a COM server in Haskell. You should have a look at the HDirect sources, where there are some examples. Generally using a COM dll from Haskell seems to work, while the other way round seems to be problematic.
Thank you for your answer. I don't really know what is a COM server but msdn doc probably will say me more on that. I saw a work at microsoft research, called Pan, which used Haskell code, and translated it to C to compile it. But produced code was too obfusquated to reuse it in C sources. So i'm going to try COM solution.
