Thanks Yitzchak, I'm thinking and acting on having that available in your quiver & have prototyped the ability to do so a couple of times in the past (stand-alone Haskell code as fully fledged .NET classes/assemblies, both the dynamic and static kind.) I didn't want to hold up the initial release to do this right now _and_ would really like to get a better gauge at how important having that piece would be to users looking to use Haskell in a .NET context. There's only so much time it seems, but no shortage of interesting projects to hack on :-) cheers --sigbjorn On 1/15/2009 03:14, Yitzchak Gale wrote:

Fantastic accomplishment! I can only repeat dons' comment - this could be game-changing.
Some obvious questions that come to mind:
We see that it is already possible to expose a Haskell function to .NET as a callback. That's exciting! Can we go to the next step and register it as part of an assembly?
Is it be possible for a running .NET app to fire up the GHC runtime and call into compiled Haskell?
Is it possible at all for a .NET function not to have any side effects? If so, is there any way to label it as such and then call it from Haskell outside of the IO monad?
Thanks, Yitz
