One thing to note is that writing the compiler in Elm instead of just compiling the Haskell compiler to JS allows us to expose bits of the compiler as an Elm library. I mean, being able to bootstrap is nice and nerdy and so on, but I believe exposing the parser, optimizer, type inference etc. as standalone functions will be the most impactful aspect of the repo, in terms of enabling better tooling in the Elm ecosystem.
