[Haskell-cafe] Work on Video Games in Haskell

[Lyndon Maydwell]

This sounds fantastic. Now I wish I had started learning haskell a few
years earlier.

As a side note, how is this project getting around the language
restrictions apple put in the developer license agreement?

In the new version of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement
released by Apple today (and which developers must agree to before
downloading the 4.0 SDK beta), section 3.3.1 now reads:

3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner
prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs.
Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or
JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code
written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link
against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to
Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility
layer or tool are prohibited).
