- jdc 7y agoWhat modern desktop or server platforms does it not run on?
- pabs3 7y agoIt seems to build on all the Debian ports, except SuperH and kFreeBSD, neither of which are modern desktop or server platforms. https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ghc https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ghc
- SkyMarshal 7y agoIt seems not to run well on some platforms like the minds of developers who don't want to take the time learn it.
- aratakareigen 7y agoWhat do you mean? Haskell has, last time I checked, an LLVM IR and a C backend, so it should be very portable.
- mightybyte 7y agoHaskell can build for Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and it can also compile to JavaScript. I don't know what your particular need is, but that fits my definition of portable.
- pmkary 7y agoWhen I have the time I will port it to JavaScript to make it universal on all systems. But for now it only works on desktop machines that run Haskell. The installation script is only good for the UNIX for the time but I will add for windows
- dan-robertson 7y agoThere’s ghcjs right? So maybe not super hard to port the core. I have basically no idea though.
