[Haskell-cafe] how to run in bounded space?

[Ben Doyle]

This sounds like Edward Yang’s work on resource limits:
http://ezyang.com/papers/ezyang13-rlimits.pdf

I don’t think the relevant patches ever made it into GHC.
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7763 They weren’t rejected either.
It seems like a case that just needs more interested people.

with predictable resources especially  (time and space).
