Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and scripting

Thank you all, that's very interesting. Martin, I've started reading the paper, I like the way you think about what a scripting language should provide ("traceability, error handling and a type system"). But, hold me if I'm wrong, but at no moment in the paper you made you own language? It's a EDSL, not a DSL, so I don't see where is the scripting, since the program will always have to be recompiled, won't it? Minh, Kyle, Gwern, the dyre approach seems to be very interesting too. But if I understood well, we also have to recompile at run-time the configuration haskell script? So the final application (Yi, for instance) will need GHC to be installed to run? Or did I miss something? By the way, I had never heard of Yi, but can I deduce from its name its a Vi(m)-like (which I am a big fan of)? Moreover, the idea of scripting my editor in Haskell appeals me. 2010/5/3 Gwern Branwen

That's also the approach Yi uses. I'm fairly certain there's a library on hackage that makes writing up programs in that style fairly trivial,
