Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: "Haskell is a scripting language inspired by Python."

It happened at various universities around the world. Look at the original Haskell committee and you'll get a good idea where. The smallest Haskell I know of is Gofer/Hugs; it originally ran on a 640k PCs. Before that languages like SASL and KRC ran on PDP-11 with 64k memory. None of these had a compiler that was bootstrapped, but I had a simple functional language that compiled itself and ran in 64K. The smallest bootstrapped Haskell compiler is NHC which (I think) runs in a few MB. -- Lennart On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 8:54 PM, Andrew Coppin <andrewcoppin@btinternet.com> wrote:

Where the heck did all this stuff happen?! Can you actually run something like Haskell with mere kilobytes of RAM?
