  • 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
  • Haskell, JS, and WebDev?
    3 projects | /r/haskell | 12 Jan 2023
  • 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.
  • Memory from finished thread is not getting reclaimed
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 9 Sep 2021
    I know, but I'm using GHCJS so I'm pretty much stuck with it (and using different compiler versions for development builds (which are native executables) and production doesn't seem like a good idea). There is hope though https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/commits/ghc-8.10
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 9 Sep 2021
    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
    Default branch on ghcjs github is 8.6. 8.10 is a wip with commit from around a month ago.
    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.
