GHCJS now runs Template Haskell on node.js - Any interest in out of process TH for general cross compilation?

[John Meacham]

Actually, I was looking into it a little, and template haskell could
effectively be implemented by a pre-processor and a portable library
that is compiler independent. If one could get ghc to spit out the
template haskell source after it expands it then that can be fed to
jhc as a quick first pass, but ideally the pre-processor TH would
create programs that can be run under the target compiler. that would
bring TH to every haskell compiler.
