  • Can someone please help me understand the difference between features like this and the technologies like Blazor Wasm which actually let you write frontend in non js for websites?

  • Does it use WasmGC, or bundle its own garbage collector?

  • This is very impressive. I once built an educational Haskell programming + math. + art web site (mathvas.com). Something like this would have simplified that a lot.

  • For those not well versed in Haskell, GHC is apparently this:

    What is GHC?

    GHC is a state-of-the-art, open source compiler and interactive environment for the functional language Haskell.

  • Can the Haskell people help me refresh my memory?

    I remember running a Haskell interpreter on an HP Jornada running Jlime Linux. It was a long time ago in high school and I felt it was great because I thought it was a convenient way to do math classes since I could input some math formulas directly into the interpreter pretty much as they were. Definitely better than the Cassio scientific calculator my math teacher had us use.

    It ran from a CF card so there was no chance it was as big as GHC. I can't seem to find the name of the interpreter.

  • Neat... but with QEMU-WASM I'm wondering what actually does not run in the browser (obviously that doesn't required specific input).

    Not a criticism, love everything that can provide hassle-free onboarding to learn a new language, just curious.

  • Unfortunately there is still no way to actually bootstrap haskell (or anything based on it) which makes it impossible to put anything written in Haskell near any high trust linux distribution or environment.

    I guess sandboxing the untrusted binary in a browser is -something- to let people play with haskell in a lower risk way for the moment at least but it is hard to take a language seriously or trust it with no way to bootstrap it from source.
