Pandoc in the browser w/ lua (possible contract gig?)

ghcjs does support C FFI, and I know of this very rough prototype that helps with the gap between ghcjs C FFI expectations and emscripten output
GHC Pluggable Backend?
4 projects | /r/haskell | 4 May 2021

i looked into that recently, and i found that GHCJS did compile the foreign import ccall into something but not quite emscripten-compatible. Another tool handled that though.

Secretly introduced rust in my company, now they love it!
2 projects | /r/rust | 10 Mar 2023

There is a fork that compiles to js https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs compiler, and I believe the official glasgow compiler is working towards also supporting js/wasm (although I don't think they are supported as of yet).
Resurrection/modernization of an old Haskell+Haste project (boardgame Yinsh)
8 projects | /r/haskell | 8 Feb 2023

I don't know anything about Haste, but you can get GHCJS 8.6 (or 8.10 with a bloated executable) via nix fairly easily or alternatively wait until the JS target recently merged into mainline ghc gets production ready: https://engineering.iog.io/2023-01-26-ghc-update.
How does GHC built from source set header search path?
2 projects | /r/haskell | 22 Jan 2023

Ah GHCJS does have this header: https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/blob/ghc-8.10/lib/boot/data/include/stg/DLL.h

Status of GHCJS for larger projects
1 project | /r/haskell | 19 Oct 2022

It seems like https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/issues/821 is a rigid dealbreaker for any sizable project.
GHCJS or Asterius
2 projects | /r/haskell | 3 Oct 2022

About the FFI: GHCJS extended the FFI to support inlined JS, named arguments, etc. See https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/blob/master/doc/foreign-function-interface.md For now the JS backend only implements FFI calls similarly to native FFI. The rest will be open to discussion later (e.g. in a ghc-proposal) and should take into account the Wasm backend so that the same user code compiles with both backends as much as possible.
Just few questions on Miso and GHCjs

Other than that, I ran into a GHCJS and Miso bug, but they weren't too hard to solve.
GHC Pluggable Backend?
4 projects | /r/haskell | 4 May 2021

There are a bunch of open branches. And yes, there is ghcjs support in haskell.nix, see this comment.
Is GHCJS stuck on GHC 8.6.5?
3 projects | /r/haskell | 17 Apr 2021

When I compile the ghc-8.8 branch locally, I get a number of test failures from the test suite. I'm not sure exactly how to fix them and they aren't currently my highest hobby priority.
