I haven't looked at Haste too much, I'll give it a try. My main problem is that I would like to find a solution that will continue working in years (somehow, that will became "the" solution for generating JS from Haskell code). That's why I see GHCJS (which just includes some patches to mainstream GHC) as the preferred solution, because it seems the most probable to continue working when new versions of GHC appear.
