Only tangentially related, but I'm reminded of Frege[0], a Haskell dialect for the JVM that I stumbled across at one point and thought looked really cool.... I see recent commits but the releases are all really old, so I can't tell what the state of the project is.

I hadn't thought of Fregue in some years! I helped them with their logo and some smaller issues back in the time. I will check out the latest commits to see what's being updated (hopefully not only dependabot:) ).

Odd — server can't be found

Odd that the FFI list didn't include Java given the JVM target. Typo or oversight?

around 4k commits in a week.

i am not sure anyone actually understands what is going on under the hood of the project. looks like average slop.

>> Exactly a week ago (as a joke), I started writing THC,

you? i hope you have read at least something of what your agent wrote about the project.

Edward Kmett is a very respected Haskell developer.

i see, but my statement does not become false because of it. his agent pushes several commits an hour in a continuous loop, meaning this respected developer is not involved in the process at all.

like Turbo Pascal?

Part of the name was a joke about people often mishearing Haskell as Pascal, Ed told me a couple of years ago. I think it might have been at ZuriHac back when it was at Google Zurich, so 2016-ish?

I read it as "Turbo Hascal"

You are not alone.

No it's a not blue TUI IDE but a Haskell on JVM. Author wasted that concept :|

And it has to weigh in under 1 MB and have sub-second compilation times.

▲bmacho 43 minutes ago | parent [-]

Since there is MicroHS Haskell compiler in 0.5 MB space nothing is stopping people to wire it together with TurboVision/ncurses. Apart from that the name is taken now.

Avast blocks the site from being loaded.

It's a Haskell to JVM compiler repurposing some parts of GHC. Pretty cute but evokes "why?".

The proper rejoinder to which is "why not?"
