  > THC now implements every one of GHC 9.14.1’s prim-ops and provides a JIT for GHC Core that runs Haskell on the JVMLook, it's very cool and a great project, but I just don't think you should call the compiler "turbo $something" if you're not going to make it a TUI IDE.

  Can someone familiar with Haskell ecosystem and the current state of things explain the rationale behind this project? Thanks.

  Coincidentally, the author has just been interviewed on the Haskell Interlude podcast:https://haskell.foundation/podcast/87/

  An IDE is just a DE in the category of blue TUIs.

  Only tangentially related, but I'm reminded of Frege[0], a Haskell dialect for the JVM that I stumbled across at one point and thought looked really cool.... I see recent commits but the releases are all really old, so I can't tell what the state of the project is.[0] https://github.com/frege/frege

  I was expecting some Turbo Vision based TUI IDE.

  FYI the article links a discussion on Reddit, which has answers for several comments made here.

  The polyglot FFI feature (thanks to GraalVM) might be very useful for implementing "functional core, imperative shell" style designs.

  like Turbo Pascal?

  Odd that the FFI list didn't include Java given the JVM target. Typo or oversight?

  > ...that runs Haskell on the JVM.Why not call it Jaskell then?

  now that there's all the rage about agentic coding - & languages don't matter - why r people not migrating to more less error prone languages like Haskell ?

  around 4k commits in a week.i am not sure anyone actually understands what is going on under the hood of the project. looks like average slop.>> Exactly a week ago (as a joke), I started writing THC,you? i hope you have read at least something of what your agent wrote about the project.
