What about running Haskell on a PostScript printer? PostScript IS Turing-complete.
it would be cool to port SOE graphics to PostScript engine :)
I spent some time a few years back figuring out how to use TH to "compile" haskell to postscript, but I didn't really know what I was doing and did a pretty poor job. But I'd love to have a postscript compiler. It's *so* nice to be able to produce compact and readable postscript files (which you could with compiled code, in the sense that the data portion of the file--which is what you want to read anyhow--would be readable). I've often wrote C code to write postscript code, which has the advantage of giving viewable output that also has the raw data in a format that is both computer-readable and human-readable. It'd be much nicer to do this in Haskell. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
