just wondering: Is jhc in a state where it is a useful tool (and not “just” an interesting and worthwhile research undertaking)? How actively is it maintained (last commit is 9 month ago)? Haskell-World is full of experiments that are great, but not really much used when packaged into a Debian package.

I agree that Fay is a great tool, but I’m not sure it is ready yet, not even supporting "let (x,y) = ...", let alone type classes. Too bad that they are not based on GHC core, that would make a lot of things easier. Also, the problem of how to distribute libraries for Fay is not solved yet. But of course: Please do remind me from time to time to reconsider, as Fay (or one of its competitors) evolves.
