I don't know of any complete implementation. The LLVM code produced by GHC
might be hard to compile to JavaScript, since JS does not have tail call
optimization. You would also need to get the RTS working, including the
garbage collector. It's written in C and Cmm, both of which can be compiled
to

It cannot compile ANY LLVM code: It's heavily geared towards porting C and
C++ code to JavaScript, and still there are some limitatons, see:

I didn't know a good way to get the tail calling

That's just a joke, because GHCJS is a bit tricky to install, but it will
be easier after 7.8 is released and they have merged our patches (unless
you really are from the future, then you can just install it, but please
send me the code of all the bugs i'll have fixed by then).
The easiest way to

It sounds like something like h$runSyncWithResult (name open for

hi all,
often when a new version of a package is available on hackage, I want to see
what has changed since the previous release. Unfortunately many packages
don't have a changelog or a public source code repository. That's why I have
made a simple website with git repositories that contain all ve
