[Haskell-beginners] Generating Code To Embed in an Event Loop

[Stephen Tetley]

Hi Darrin

The more typical scenario is to embed a "higher level" scripting
language within a game (Lua has been particularly popular) rather use
a higher level language to generate low level code.

Pragmatically, code generation works well in domains where you have a
succint input format and many candidates to generate - parser
generators like YACC or Haskell's Happy are prime examples. If you
don't have many candidates for generating, writing good libraries in
the low-level language seems a more profficient use of one's time.
