Actually even the use of embedded here is somewhat ambiguous. Embedded as in devices, or embedded as in embedded within another programming language. I think it might mean the latter here.

but the text specifically says 'for interacting with hardware'. it would be instructive if there was a simple hardware interface example on the front page instead of just hello world and fib.

You are correct. The first bullet point on the page defines what embedded means for Ivory. > Embedded: Ivory is implemented as a library of the Haskell programming language. Ivory programs are written using Haskell syntax and types. An "embedded DSL" is written inside a host language. It is different from a DSL which is parsed from characters using an interpreter or compiler. I agree it's a confusing term in this context. I've also used the term "hosted". Wikipedia also suggests "internal". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language#Domain-specific_language_topics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language#Domai...

It’s both. Ivory is a Haskell EDSL for programming hard real-time embedded systems. Iirc they originally created it for a DARPA aerospace software contract.
