You might be interested in Yhc.Core - its like GHC's Core, but is
simpler, untyped and (in my opinion) better supported.

http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yhc/API/Core

We already have a Haskell -> Javascript convertor written using this,
so your type of application is certainly doable using what we have
already. There are quite a few users of Yhc.Core already, and everyone
has had nice things to say about it :)

If you have any specific Yhc.Core questions feel free to ask away

Thanks

Neil
