There are still substantial issues which need to be overcome before jhc can be used for general Haskell programing
Do you plan to support ghc command-line flags? Because I tried to compile darcs with jhc and it failed because darcs' configure file uses specific flags: checking for ghc... /home/bortzmeyer/tmp/jhc/jhc/jhc checking where GHC keeps its libraries... unrecognized option `--print-libdir' Usage: jhc [OPTION...] Main.hs Or should I ask darcs' maintainer to consider supporting jhc? (It is an issue I had when trying to maintain autoconf macros for Java: the language is standard, not the compilers' options.)
