Because he would have either to recompile the whole program or to use things like hint, both implying that GHC must be installed on the user side (600Mo+ for GHC 6.12.3) Isn't there a way to use some stripped-down version of ghc and the base

there is hugs, which is a small, fast haskell interpreter. It is embeddable ( exposes a C api for embedding - it is written in C), supports many language extensions and can be stripped down (in terms of libraries) as far as you like, but is now often forgotten, overlooked in so far as haskell implementations go.

I'd love to use haskell as a configuration language, provide some combinators and effectively get the rest for free. But it is not acceptable for a user to go through the mess of installing a ghc environment on, say, Windows, only to change some settings.

I don't understand. Why don't you use Haskell as the scripting language?

Let us think, that we need some scripting language for our pure haskell project and configure-compile-run is not a way. In such a case a reasonably simple, yet standartized and wide known language should be implemented. What such language may be? R(4/5/6)RS ? EcmaScript ? Some other ? _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org mailto:Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
