Fay for mobile? #151

Closed mcandre closed 12 years ago

mcandre commented 12 years ago

I'd prefer to write my mobile apps directly in Haskell. For the moment, this is not an option, so I'm looking for alternatives. Fay is an interesting consideration; how could I run the resulting Node.js code in Android?

You can use PhoneGap! :-) http://www.phonegap.com/ You write code in JS, it exposes various APIs for accessing the device's features. Fay compiles to JS. Viola! There's a ticket somewhere here for making PhoneGap bindings. You're welcome to start. I haven't started yet. Need to register an Apple developer account.

I have heard of projects that compile Haskell and Ocaml for IOS. For Android, I've heard of people using scala, but needing to run proguard over it. Then there's Frege for the jvm, but no idea if it'll work on Android.

There also seem to be some attempts on getting nodejs running on android since it supports v8 in some fashion (I know next to nothing about this), but I only found inactive projects.

Closing, as my thread is a duplicate of #111. Thanks for the link, Chris.
