[Haskell-cafe] Standard way to translate Haskell to other languages?

[Joey]

It looked interesting, but when I initially started my project (about 
six months ago) it seemed pretty immature. It also seems to be less 
focused on graphical programming, which Elm is superb at with its FRP. 
I'd also heard GHCJS was pretty heavyweight, getting the entire runtime 
going. I'm really only using JS for rednering.
