[Haskell] GHC Core backend

2004-02-13 Thread Arjan van IJzendoorn
Hello all, Is anybody using GHC's backend as a backend for their own compiler? In the paper An external representation for the GHC Core Language the introduction states that there are many (undocumented) idiosyncracies in the way GHC produces Core from source Haskell. And that it will be hard to

Hi, Halipeto generates web pages from templates (much like JSP, Zope TAL etc). It's written in Haskell (with a ghc extension) and is available from http://www.acooke.org/jara/halipeto An example site generated using Halipeto, containing some Pancito images, is at http://www.acooke.org/pancito

Dell's poweredge server with the max 12gb RAM costs $15k. Moore's law says that 1. you only need an extra bit/year. 2. processing that extra bit will cost 50% less next year Though perhaps processing time is not linear with the number of bits for historical/architectural reasons? I presume
