[Haskell-cafe] hOp

[sebc at macs.hw.ac.uk]

The RTS of GHC is truly an amazing piece of software.  By removing the
system-specific bits, and just adding a few lines of C and assembly
code, we were able to turn it into a standalone micro-kernel that can
be extended in our favorite language.  A screenshot is available here:

Everything from the base hierarchical library not under the System
subdirectory is available.  This includes threads and communication
primitives and the foreign interface, which means experimenting with
writing drivers in Haskell should be reasonably easy.

We hope to make a source release soon.
