Not sure if you're serious, but the last time we considered even rewriting the scripts in C, people were mostly against that. However, I guess with this the major opposition (can't read the source code easily) goes away, because you can still cat the scripts. However, I'd imagine that the startup overhead is now higher than bash, and the size of closures goes up a lot (you have to pull in the many hundreds of MB that GHC needs).
So while it's a nice idea, I don't think it's practical to be done system wide - though I'm all for doing it locally! -- ocharles On Fri, Jan 30, 2015 at 4:02 PM, Joe Hillenbrand <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.haskellforall.com/2015/01/use-haskell-for-shell-scripting.html > > Time to replace all shell scripts in Nix with Haskell? > > _______________________________________________ > nix-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev > >
