Should I abandon using haskell for my compiler?

  Haskell bindings for LLVM

  

2 days later and I'm still failing to get a project to build with the LLVM bindings. The repository seems fairly inactive, and is several versions behind modern LLVM. This seems like a very basic package for a language that is supposed to be well suited to writing compilers. Even flipping Python seemingly has more up to date LLVM bindings.

  A minimal, fast Datalog implementation in Haskell that compiles to LLVM IR

/u/ltielen's Éclair language targets LLVM and is actively maintained, so I'd look at that implementation's LLVM setup.

It looks like /u/ltielen decided to write his own LLVM library targeting the latest LLVM, so I guess he saw the same issues you are seeing with the llvm-hs bindings and decided to create his own.

  Haskell LLVM JIT Compiler Tutorial

Comparing the haskell and cpp implementations of the LLVM tutorial lead me to believe it might be faster to learn haskell and implement the compiler in haskell than to implement it in cpp.
