Re: [Haskell-cafe] generating foreign Code (Java, C++, PHP)?

2010/9/7 Günther Schmidt :

Hi list,

I noticed that there are some libs / packages like atom and HJscript which allow you to write a program in a haskell EDSL and that then actually generates valid source code in another language. In the above example that would be JavaScript and C.

I sure would love to be able to write PHP for instance like that but I cannot even fathom how a EDSL would have to be designed for it.

Hi, Probably, the very first thing is to know what purpose the EDSL would serve. For instance, Atom is not meant as a general purpose replacement for C. Do you have something specific in mind? Cheers, Thu
