This was what I was originally writing in about, yeah. However, thinking it over I realize there are some serious problems. We really do want to work with a restricted subset of Haskell that is more amenable to translation -- one with finite arrays and most every type translatable to JSON. > I'm not particularly concerned with non-strict evaluation, > either.

I'm not sure about this but I suspect that's a major stumbling block. -- Jason Dusek _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
