Re: [Haskell-cafe] off-topic question: why invent new Haskell-like compile-to-js functional languages when we have awesome js_of_ocaml ?

It is actually confirmed that GHCJS will go into an official GHC release? I have not been able to find that information on the GHC tracker. I have tried GHCJS, Haste and the UHC-JS in the past and found Haste the most easy to install and use. As far as I know, GHCJS and Haste are the only compilers to support all GHC extensions. Of course, this actualizes that old question of whether pervasive use of GHC-only extensions is A Good Thing... yet still I keep finding {-# LANGUAGE DeriveTraversable, ViewPatterns, TypeFamilies … #-} on top of my source files.

I'm aware of this, but when I first tried it a few months ago, it was not easy to use at all. Is it changed now?

The biggest bump in usability will come from it not being just in HEAD with everything about building it that that implies. (next release of GHC will have it)
