Well, I'm not interested in a lisp interpreter written in Haskell. Nor am I (at the moment) interested in writing an iPad app in Haskell.

I changed the subject to clarify.

What I would like to see is A Haskell Interpreter on the iPad.

To further emphasize, I'd like to type in (or paste in) Haskell code and have it executed on the iPad. To reiterate: Something like Hugs, or ghci on the iPad.

By the way, there are three Scheme interpreters in the iPad app store. In addition to the two I previously mentioned, there is iScheme.

There are (at least) two Scheme interpreters for iPad at the iTunes

PixieScheme and GambitREPL. Both allow entry of scripts, by typing or pasting. The Gambit community is very busy trying to expand the usefulness of their interpreter. Both have pretty good interfaces.

There is also an Ocaml app, but I don't know or want to know Ocaml, and

I'd really like to have something like this in Haskell, in the "education" pot, as is the GambitREPL. Hugs is written in C, if I recall correctly. Would it be possible to compile Hugs for the iPad processor, taking out enough system calls to make it acceptable?
