Oh, wow, I'd never seen gambitREPL, just the (pretty terrible) iScheme. That's pretty neat. It's probably quite doable, then, but the dev would either be forced into Hugs, or they'd have to implement a more portable GHC. Does such a thing exist already? On Jun 18, 2011, at 3:03 PM, John Velman

2011-06-18 Thread Don Stewart
Oh, Scheme is trivial to implement, when compared with Haskell. So people write it from scratch as a tutorial exercise. Haskell isn't trivial to implement from scratch, so instead we port existing implementations mostly. That means really, porting Hugs or GHC. And you've been pointed at examples.

Well, Haskell is fun, isn't it? And that's what iPhone is perfect for: fun. Back when I had iPod Touch 1G (jailbroken, of course), I used to run Hugs on it. Now I would love to see a Haskell interpreter in the App Store — which, by the way, is possible; as there are Scheme interpreters there, wh

I suppose you could make a GUI, by why? Given that you'll have to be working on a jailbroken device, anyway, one could just as well use one of the numerous terminal emulators now floating around for jailbroken iOS. That said, the idea of people writing Haskell on phones and iPads and so on makes

There are (at least) two Scheme interpreters for iPad at the iTunes store: PixieScheme and GambitREPL. Both allow entry of scripts, by typing or pasting. The Gambit community is very busy trying to expand the usefulness of their interpreter. Both have pretty good interfaces. There is also an O
