I have managed to compile Haskell code into C, Java and, finally, VHDL for some hardware simulation project. All that code did not require any kind of runtime except what was needed by typical program in that language.
You seem to completely throw away whole point about embedding language into Haskell. I am okay with that. Do you?
- steveklabnik 6y agoMaybe you missed my edit, I addressed that. It's a very different claim, and so wasn't a thing I was responding to. There are different reasons to not prefer that approach. This kind of regular condescension from the fanbase is a great reason not to, for example.
- thesz 6y agoWhat are other reasons to not to prefer that approach? I am interested in technical ones.
- steveklabnik 6y agoWell, you can't really separate things that way because they're inter-related, but honestly, I don't really have a ton of motivation to bother replying to you anymore. Embedded languages / domain specific languages vs not is pretty well-worn at this point, I don't have anything new to say here.
