I know time is a bit variable, but is there any idea of when this might be accomplished? Is there anything fundamental that is holding you back? Something like writing Read/Show serialisation would take a day at most, and give me everything I want. I realise that you are going for something better, but the time/features trade-off is ever present :)
There is nothing fundamental that's holding us back; it's just a matter of finding time (I'm moving out of state and starting grad school, Aaron was busy finishing up the semester). I'm not sure offhand why just doing Read/Show wouldn't work or didn't occur to us; is there a reason why that wouldn't be straightforward? (Adding Aaron to the CC list to see what he thinks.) It's probably just that we were trying to do the Right Thing.
The other question is whether there will be a small standalone library called "GHC.Core" which lets a user load an abstract syntax tree out of a file?
I think there should be, but AFAIK there's nothing in that direction yet.
