Greetings. I was thinking... we already have Lambdabot sitting in an IRC channel. How hard would it be to mangle Lambdabot to the point where it works over HTTP? You know - so you could type some Haskell into a form on a web page, hit [submit], and get the result sent back to you? (Again, assuming it can be computed in a sane amount of time/space, and truncated to some reasonable textual length.) I think it might be kinda neat to have such a thing linked from the Haskell.org homepage. You know, sort of "hey, wanna try Haskell without installing any stuff? Click here!" ...on the other hand, maybe I'm just strange... :-$

Still, an interface like the fancy Web 2.0 ones that Ruby has could be nice.

I have no idea what Web 2.0 is, but from what I hear it's overrated... Well, a web interface potentially provides for nicer output formatting than the plain text of an IRC channel. Could be interesting to actually make use of it...

For me it gives:
1 + 1 Maybe you meant: . v
But the rest of the commands seems working ;) Andrew Coppin schrieb:

Sorry about that, I upgraded my ghc package without realizing it would affect lambdabot. I'll see if I can fix it. Thanks, Jason

Lambdabot web server is here: http://lambdabot.codersbase.com/ Thought we never announced it off channel, and it hasn't been updated in a while.

yeah, we've had this in mind as a base for an online haskell quiz/tutorial series. Perhaps someone would like to make this happen :-) -- Don
