[Haskell-cafe] Re: Haskell and scripting

[Pierre-Etienne Meunier]

By the way, I do not know the GHC API well enough to say if it is possible to embed a super small bytecode interpreter, but :

- If it is the case, then users who do not want to write scripts can use it. Others would want to compile haskell code, therefore they need GHC anyway.
- If it is not, then a cool thing to do for the GHC team would be to add one ;-)

In both cases, if someone on haskell-cafe knows the answer, could he write it on the wiki in the page about the ghc api ?

Cheers,
PE
