I want to evaluate arbitrary Haskell code, and I did start with hs- plugins. There are a few problems:

- It doesn't work 100% on Mac (which I'm using).
- It's much slower than GHCi (for each expression to evaluate it creates a file and compiles it) - GHCi has a lot of features that I would have to implement myself for hs-plugins (top-level bindings, Control-C handling, lots of flags, etc).

Probably much easier than hacking at GHCi!

But not nearly as fun! :)
