Is it possible to do dynamic loading in Haskell?
Let us say you want to have plug-in loadable widgets. You create a
widget API, which is in fact a data-type W (which you make an instance
of Typeable). You then write an application that loads widgets, using
something like this:
loadDynamic :: FilePath -> IO Dynamic
Someone else could then use your widget API to write code that provides
a value of type W (or a Dynamic), and compile and link it as a widget
that can then be loaded.
Is this possible?
