This is obviously a great concept. However, it may not be appropriate for a GSoC. The design space is far too open, and it is not clear if anything in that space will end up beating plain old javascript. I think my proposal for an awesome websockets library [1] shows that this is putting the cart

Maybe I'll sound like an overused meme, but what about JQuery? JQuery already takes a combinator-like approach to Javascript and DOM manipulations, so maybe we could have a combinator library that would mimic the JQuery library. We'd obviously need some extra combinators for the required parts of J

My issue isn't that you'd need to develop a new set of tools. I just think that using a library approach would allow us to generate more comprehensible code. Hopefully, we could still reuse datatypes, and do lots of other fun stuff. For example, if we used aeson's ToJSON/FromJSON instances for seri

My idea would be reusing some of the already-available tools for compiling Haskell to JS (for example, UHC), and develop with any of them a complete library for client-side scripting; rather that redevelop a way to compile Haskell to JS. I think it's really a pity not being able to use things like
