Hi, is there any chance of having hugs compile for the iPhone?
Cross-compiling? Compiling directly on the iPhone?
Greets,

The iPhone, like most modern mobile devices, is based on the ARM
processor, for which there is currently no GHC port.
However, jhc outputs portable C code which can be (cross) compiled for
ARM. I have succeeded in building Haskell code with jhc on my desktop
(x86 Linux), then cross-compiling the resulting C code in a scratchbox
environment for my Nokia N810.
In short, if you can compile C code for the iPhone (cross-compiled or
native), you can probably use jhc to turn Haskell into suitable C.
jhc is not self-hosting, and it requires gcc as a back-end, so it isn't
suitable for running on the device.
See also the GHC-on-ARM project[1], an attempt to port GHC to ARM Linux
devices.

I failed completely to mention Hugs: I don't think it exists, but I
think someone managed to port it to the Nintendo DS a while back, so it
should be possible.
