Incompatibility between Yi and GHC 6.8 (rc)

Hello, I spent some time to make Yi work with 6.8, and failed up to now. Before I go into details, let's see what I'm trying to do with Yi. The idea is to have a fully dynamic application where the user is allowed to run arbitrary haskell code on the command line. This can be used to quickly

Hello Bulat, From my (limited) knowledge of GHC backend, the difficult part of your plan is that STG is not suited to compilation to native C at all. You might need to do quite advanced translation from STG to another intemediate language, (as GRIN for example), and then some more advanced
