[Haskell-cafe] off-topic question: why invent new Haskell-like compile-to-js functional languages when we have awesome js_of_ocaml ?

[Hans Höglund]

It is actually confirmed that GHCJS will go into an official GHC release? I have not been able to find that information on the GHC tracker.

I have tried GHCJS, Haste and the UHC-JS in the past and found Haste the most easy to install and use. As far as I know, GHCJS and Haste are the only compilers to support all GHC extensions. 

Of course, this actualizes that old question of whether pervasive use of GHC-only extensions is A Good Thing... yet still I keep finding {-# LANGUAGE DeriveTraversable, ViewPatterns, TypeFamilies … #-} on top of my source files.

Regards,
Hans
