[Haskell-cafe] lightweight web interface for Haskell?

[Gershom B]

One more suggestion then :-) SageMathCloud (https://cloud.sagemath.com/) now has ghc 7.6.3 running on it. It has a nice webeditor with haskell syntax highlighting and sharing of .hs files, and you can also pop open a terminal in the browser and interact with ghci directly. This basically gives a minimal unixy environment to play with the repl without having to do any installation work, etc.

It isn’t necessarly rich with libraries, etc. But for giving a “real ghc” experience without the install, it might not be bad.
