[Haskell-cafe] Which is the most "hackable" compiler?

GHC compiler plugins may also be what you're looking for.

Also, does ghc not compile core files anymore? It used to; you can always use an older ghc version.

If it helps, I would be satisfied with plain Haskell2010 or even Haskell 98, although some GADT and/or TypeFamilies code to butcher would be nice, too. The ideas are mostly about larger scale structures like whole functions.

You could write your own front end that produces System-F, then have DDC compile that. The individual compiler passes are also fairly well separated, so it’s easy to change.
