As far as I know, hs-plugins works by taking an expression, writing it to a file, calling GHC to parse it, transform it to Core, optimise it, transform it to STG, optimise it, transform it to C--, optimise it, transform it to ANSI C, optimise it, pass it to GCC, compile it, link it, and *then* using the GHC runtime linker to load the generated object code into memory, type-check it, and, finally, execute it.
Don't forget the Evil Mangler, which optimises the compiled assembly!
OMG, how could I forget the Evil Mangler!! :-0 It has such an awesom name! ;-) If I ever get to write a production system, I am *totally* going to have an Evil Mangler module in there somewhere! :-D
