[Haskell-cafe] Haskell on the iPhone

[John A. De Goes]

I have strong interest in Haskell on the JVM. Not for Android, however.

Seems like every time this topic comes up, the consensus is that it's  
not easy to support new targets with GHC, but that "work is underway"  
to make such developments easier.
