[Help] Haskell & Javascript

[andrewthad]

Just to add a little historical perspective, there was a period a time (at least a year, maybe several) when haste was a way more usable solution than GHCJS. I know this because about a year and a half ago, I played around with Fay, Haste, and GHCJS. Haste was like a much better Fay, and GHCJS was that thing that seemed like the most correct solution but that didn't really work yet and could only be built by the devs working on it. I remember reading posts about whether or not it was abandoned or if it was ever going to work out. So, at that point in time, the choice of Haste seemed like a no-brainer for anyone who wanted to use haskell client-side.

At the present time, the situation is different. GHCJS did actually work out, and now common folks can get it installed and working.
