Re: The Haskell compiler of my dreams...

[George Russell]

I think the GHC developers have got their priorities about right.  Yes, GHC is 
slow, hard to build, and big.  That's because it's a research project.  
It's more important now to concentrate on demonstrating that Haskell is a good
language for all sorts of real programming problems.  It won't be so hard to
speed up GHC later if that becomes important.
