Excerpts from Nils Schweinsberg's message of Sun Sep 19 18:50:39 +0200 2010:
By the way, did anyone use javascript on their websites? I wonder if there are any nice ways to combine those two worlds?
Haskell: - http://github.com/sviperll/ghcjs (There is work in progress): JS backend for GHC. You have to find a way to compile the base packages. It was originally written for ghc-6.8.2 - YHC (york haskell compiler) has a JS backend - of course those DSL's you can find on hackage My guess is that Haskells laziness adds both: a runtime penalty and a code size penalty. I don't have proofs for that. But be aware that there is some competition (non Haskell): - http://www.impredicative.com/ur/ has some features of WASH. The urls have nicer names though. - http://www.itu.dk/people/mael/smltojs/ (ml to js) [ - HaXe.org (not such a strong type system - but it you can even create .swf files!) ] Marc Weber
