I didn't realize asking how long it's been for him, but he mentioned about new fronts in optimizing compilers and specifically mentioned a compiler that could compile to legible C. I've been following Haskell
only for a couple of years, so my intuition tells me that he means
`-fvia-c`, and I mentioned to him that it's about to be deprecated and replaced with the llvm back-end. I also mentioned hackage, but he hadn't heard of it.
The legible C thing is probably jhc ( http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/ ). It's GHC's *illegible* registerized C that is being phased out; the slightly-more-legible ANSI C mode used for porting is staying, though. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
