[Haskell-cafe] Embedded haskell?

[Carter Schonwald]

in addition to atom http://hackage.haskell.org/package/atom/

theres also copilot http://hackage.haskell.org/package/copilot

point being: theres lots of great tools you can use to target embedded
systems that leverage haskell in cool ways!

(eg: hArduino on the more hobbyist side, which I need to check out myself! )

enjoy your explorations!
