  • FYI the article links a discussion on Reddit, which has answers for several comments made here.
  • The polyglot FFI feature (thanks to GraalVM) might be very useful for implementing "functional core, imperative shell" style designs.
  • An IDE is just a DE in the category of blue TUIs.
  • Only tangentially related, but I'm reminded of Frege[0], a Haskell dialect for the JVM that I stumbled across at one point and thought looked really cool.... I see recent commits but the releases are all really old, so I can't tell what the state of the project is.

  • > THC now implements every one of GHC 9.14.1’s prim-ops and provides a JIT for GHC Core that runs Haskell on the JVM

    Look, it's very cool and a great project, but I just don't think you should call the compiler "turbo $something" if you're not going to make it a TUI IDE.
