How do you Haskell on embedded systems? Are you talking about baremetal with 1-32K SRAM?

- eru 12y agoNo, not nearly that baremetal. I was talking about control processes running in dom0 of xen. They are embedded in the sense that there are `no user serviceable parts'. (I just looked up embedded software on Wikipedia; it seems like the traditional use of the term is very different to how I used it here. Please pardon the confusion.)
- sanderjd 12y agoTo take this thread yet further into self-parody, you might like Rust; it borrows some interesting stuff from Haskell (or really, the ML family), but is actively targeting embedded systems. Edit: Also, I have heard that Ocaml can be made to work pretty nicely in an embedded environment.
- eru 12y agoYou can make OCaml (and Haskell) run on Xen, no need for a full blown operating system. (Not sure if that counts for anything.) The OCaml project for that is called mirage.
