Do you think it's plausible to apply for this as haskell.org Summer of

much about the process, and of course there's lots of competition,
but, any advice?
Sure. But if I'm honest, I'm not sure this would be a top priority for
the Haskell community (I could be wrong). After all, GHC already works
on 99% of platforms, so we're only helping a few people here. You'd
have to make a pretty strong case, and get plenty of support. I'd be
happy to mentor if the project gets accepted.
okay, maybe I'll apply, and we can see if the side-effects of "makes GHC
code a little nicer" and "provides a case study in that" carry any
weight as plausible additional arguments :-) Indeed, if other things
win out for Haskell development this summer, they'll be important too.
thanks,
Isaac
