Re: [Haskell-cafe] only anecdotal .... not a proof of a trend ...

Hi Brandon, 1) The reason I said "over the top" is that QNX is highly optimized to bound kernel pathways. I was able to read kernel code. I have also worked on LynxOS and pSOS. Not dissing you [?] 2) What is the Haskell package that you are alluding to. I would like to know plus probably others on this list. Kind regards, Vasili On Sun, Aug 28, 2011 at 9:27 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

It's not over the top; it's traditional embedded device programming, where there isn't an OS available, just a simple BIOS (and I don't mean the MS-DOS one). I suppose kids these days expect even embedded environments to be fairly high end CPUs with full memory management and full OSes... nope. There's even still ladder logic out there — and at least one recent Haskell package aimed at programming for it.
