Very cool. Might it one day be possible to run pure haskell on Xen on AWS?

  Somebody already did it with OCaml, so Haskell shouldn't be too far off.

  It should be possible now if HaLVM has proper PV drivers; AWS allows custom kernels and what do they care what language your kernel is written in?

    Is AWS allowing custom kernels for users that are neither paid AMI partners nor big prominent customers?

      Yes. Here's the little script that wraps up Mirage kernels into EC2 AMIs. https://github.com/avsm/mirage/blob/master/scripts/ec2.sh https://github.com/avsm/mirage/blob/master/scripts/ec2.sh Unfortunately, I can't figure out the AWS magic to build EBS images directly, which means that you can't use the free m1.micro instances with this script. Help from anyone who knows welcome...
