And while we are dreaming, in an iOS port of GHCi (meaning GHCi runs on iOS and
doesn't just generate code for it), it would be great to make bytecode
persistent — ie, the bytecode that GHCi currently generates internally to
interpret programs should be serialized to save and load it. (Note

Can you provide a link for info? I don't understand how this would be done.
Thanks

Well, strictly speaking, GHC only supports self-cross-compilation, id est
porting[1], cf. [2]. For more information on cross compilation generally, refer
to the wiki page[3]. Does that answer your question, or did you have something
else in mind?

I changed the subject to clarify.
What I would like to see is A Haskell Interpreter on the iPad.

I suppose you could make a GUI, by why? Given that you'll have to be working on
a jailbroken device, anyway, one could just as well use one of the numerous
terminal emulators now floating around for jailbroken iOS. That said, the idea
of people writing Haskell on phones and iPads and so on
Well, Haskell is fun, isn't it? And that's what iPhone is perfect for: fun.
Back when I had iPod Touch 1G (jailbroken, of course), I used to run Hugs on
it. Now I would love to see a Haskell interpreter in the App Store — which, by
the way, is possible; as there are Scheme interpreters there,

They run on factory iPads, not jailbroken.
The GUI for the gambitREPL (Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop) is just like a
console. Input a scheme expression. CR.
Oh, Scheme is trivial to implement, when compared with Haskell. So
people write it from scratch as a tutorial exercise.
Haskell isn't trivial to implement from scratch, so instead we port
existing implementations mostly.
That means really, porting Hugs or GHC. And you've been pointed at
Oh, wow, I'd never seen gambitREPL, just the (pretty terrible) iScheme. That's
pretty neat. It's probably quite doable, then, but the dev would either be
forced into Hugs, or they'd have to implement a more portable GHC. Does such a
thing exist already?
