Translate a subset of Haskell to Bend #457

Open runeksvendsen opened 5 months ago

runeksvendsen commented 5 months ago

In this Reddit comment thread, the challenges around translating a subset of Haskell to Bend are discussed. In that thread, @augustss indicated interest in giving this a shot, and I wanted to create a ticket to tracks this progress, as I find it very interesting.

This is the ticket for both tracking progress around translating a subset of Haskell to Bend, and also a communication channel between the HVM developers and whoever wants to make an attempt at this translation — so that all relevant information around this venture is collected here.

I have purposefully left of which subset of Haskell to target, as I think any subset of Haskell is fine to begin with. Later, we may want to create new tickets for the translation of specific Haskell language features.

Open question (from the Reddit thread):

I'm not clear how IO works, though. All examples seem to be programs that don't do any IO interactions.

Has there been any progress on this issue?

If not, is there anything I can do to help?
