- It's just an experiment of mine with the backend that turns out to have sparked some interest. It seems to compile most of Haskell 98 (at least it did when it last worked ;-)) but it's in no way an industrial strength compiler yet.
I'm curious. Can you be more specific about what you thought wanted/needed changing in nhc98's VM and/or compiler?
I haven't played around with nhc98 yet, but I was intrigued by its small size and its (modestly-sized and simple) bytecoded implementation. Should I now be more interested in Yhc instead? ;-)
I'd like to build a web-publishing framework in Haskell that is totally self-contained, very portable, and easy to bootstrap ... and nhc98 or Yhc might be a nice place to start.
Are you documenting your thoughts about the Yhc implementation somewhere?
You should find us documenting our work in the blog... yhc06.blogspot.org. Bob
