Given the number of extensions used in ghc's own code, many of which jhc does not support, this seems unlikely, at least not without first mechanically converting its code to an intermediate form like Haskell 98. Also, jhc would still need to be ported to new arches. ;) Also, you'd probably need quite a lot of memory (probably gigabytes) to compile something as large as ghc with jhc, since jhc is lacking even garbage collection. It'd be nice to have jhc in Debian though. Although the Haskell "compiler" we really need, IMHO, is Fay. -- see shy jo
