Runtime code modification is the only thing I admire about Smalltalk, and it's something I hope is practical in Haskell.
Spencer has a possible architecture based on ghci, which would give us zero-compile reloading, using just the bytecode interpreter.
Good to hear. I'd be interested in using it in some of my own projects. Do you know if this will be a generic framework, or will it be tightly integrated into xmonad?
Its a generic architecture for mostly-native code Haskell apps, yet with dynamic reloading. Its a reimplementation of the `dynamic apps from the ground up' architecture described in the hs-plugins paper of 2004, where the static core runs in ghci. But we've got to play around with the code a bit first: its just an idea for now. -- Don
