I'm interested in webassembly's recent momentum
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/03/a-webassembly-milestone/
Is this a way we could get a foot in the web? I'm curious, just putting the thought out there.
GHCJS can compile Haskell to JS already - anything that GHC compiles, except libraries that link against non-Haskell code. There are also various Haskell-like languages, with which I'm less familiar. Periodically someone asks about generating webassembly or asm.js from GHCJS. For example: https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/issues/53 https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/issues/359 My understanding is GHCJS depends on first-class functions and garbage collection in the JS runtime, which aren't provided by the assembly subset. bergey
