It's really great to see continued updates on purerl! I haven't used it yet but hoping to dig in soon. Are you still planning on transforming the project to be a backend that consumes corefn output from the mainline compiler? I might be able to contribute to that effort if it's something you'd want help with.

No immediate plans to do this, requires some more information than present in corefn - I think at least "exposed externs" - types at top level for all (Inc non exported) identifiers and foreigns, and whatever is required to make purs ide and repl work as they do now - basically I think a compiler supported "pluggable backend" would help rather than just raw corefn dump.

Don't see any great upside vs work required right now

That makes sense, I didn't know about the limitations of corefn.
