All of Haskell was possible 20 years ago. The LML compiler (written in LML)
compiled a language similar to Haskell, the only real differences is syntax
and the type system (and monadic IO wasn't invented yet). It was a bit slow
to recompile itself, but not bad. A 16MHz 386 and 8M of memory certainly
sufficed.

Hi,
I like Haskell, and use it as my main language. However, compiling a Haskell program usually takes a lot of memory and CPU. So I was curious, and would like to know from computer scholars in this list: how much of Haskell would be possible in machines with really low CPU and memory? Which features would be feasible for a compiler to implement, and for programmers to use?
Thanks, Maurício
