   You objected to the assertion that society has been set up to reward ownership of capital. You somehow fail to acknowledge that when lending at interest is disallowed, owning capital does not automatically lead to accumulating more capital

   Thanks, but this doesn’t look like the new emulator, whatever that is — the instructions are dated 2012.

   Thanks, Pat. This is an excellent introduction to Halcyon. See also my recent “Show HN” for Haskell on Heroku — a Heroku buildpack for deploying Haskell apps, built on top of Halcyon: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=89

    Thanks for mentioning Dokku; I’d like to give it a try. It looks like Dokku supports the Heroku buildpack API, so you should be able to use Haskell on Heroku with it, as well. Additionally, Halcyon makes it possible to deploy Haskell apps

    Yes. Joe’s buildpack was an inspiration for me to start work on Halcyon and Haskell on Heroku.

    So, this is pretty cool. I am in particular impressed how thorough your curl wrapper is. Mine is pretty basic in comparison: https://github.com/mietek/bashmenot/blob/master/src/curl.sh

    I am one-quarter into "Disciplined Minds", a book by John Pilger. It looks like the author may be addressing similar issues. Have you perhaps read this book?

    Yes. You can use stable pointers for this purpose. A stable pointer is a reference to a Haskell expression that is guaranteed not to be affected by garbage collection, i.e., it will neither be deallocated nor will the value of the stable p

    I am not aware of any limitations, except for the static linking caveat noted in the README. The build process is also a bit involved; see the Makefile for details. My use case involves shipping Haskell plugins for C programs to end-users,
