[Haskell-cafe] haskell-like scripting language

I gave Shelly a try. Pretty cool - using it for some of the scripts on my system. Has me wondering though: is anyone working on creating a actual Haskell-like scripting language and engine? Shelly is cool, as I said, but I imagine it would be more valuable to have another language that is

Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell-like scripting language

Shelly is cool, as I said, but I imagine it would be more valuable to have another language that is actually separate from Haskell, with an interpreter that is more lightweight and changes much less frequently (than GHC). Something that could be nearly as portable as Bash or Perl. Hugs? It

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and scripting

I'm still not always sure how things are done in Haskell, but I'd like to propose another alternative, or, saying more correctly, I'd like to question how real this alternative is. What if scripting would be done with something like lambdabot, mueval or hint? Do scripts always need to be compiled?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and scripting

Actually lambdabot and mueval use the GHC api, and hint is supposed to be a wrapper around it. But using the API directly is quite simple, and the scripts are indeed compiled. I believe that the purpose of scripting an application is adding fun factor to it. How many haskell programmers are

2010/5/4 Limestraël limestr...@gmail.com: ... Minh, Kyle, Gwern, the dyre approach seems to be very interesting too. But if I understood well, we also have to recompile at run-time the configuration haskell script? So the final application (Yi, for instance) will need GHC to be installed to

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and scripting

A complete language needs a complete implementation. No, Minh, I was not talking about re-implementing a whole Lisp/Scheme language interpreter in Haskell. (I know there is BTW a Scheme interpreter made in Haskell : http://jonathan.tang.name/files/scheme_in_48/tutorial/overview.html). But what

Hello Café, I don't know if you know conkyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conky_%28software%29. It's a well-known open-source system monitor (a software that displays information on the desktop, like CPU frequency, disk usage, network rate, etc.). It is quite good, but it's very descriptive, and

Hi, You can take the xmonad approach: the configuration file is written in Haskell and compiled, so no need for another language. Cheers, Thu 2010/5/3 Martin Erwig er...@eecs.oregonstate.edu: One of my students has worked on scripting approach in Haskell:        

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and scripting

That's also the approach Yi uses. I'm fairly certain there's a library on hackage that makes writing up programs in that style fairly trivial, although I can't remember the details right now. I'd look up Yi as a starting point. -R. Kyle Murphy -- Curiosity was framed, Ignorance killed the cat.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and scripting

Thank you all, that's very interesting. Martin, I've started reading the paper, I like the way you think about what a scripting language should provide (traceability, error handling and a type system). But, hold me if I'm wrong, but at no moment in the paper you made you own language? It's a

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell as scripting language?

For scenario (a) you can use hs-plugins and ghc http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/hs-plugins/ With hs-plugins you can get an eval command, or you can dynamically load Haskell modules (from source or pre-compiled .o files). GHC (= 6.5) has an API that you can access from Haskell programs:
