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:) ).

The polyglot FFI feature (thanks to GraalVM) might be very useful for implementing "functional core, imperative shell" style designs.

FYI the article links a discussion on Reddit, which has answers for several comments made here.

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

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"

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.

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.

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?"

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.

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.

The article gives a link to the discussion on Reddit. In it, Edward says
"I actually did pretty much gave up sleep for a week. That said there are a few hour stretches here and there where I leave it on mostly cleanup tasks and doze off. you can find a couple of 2-3 hour breaks where it got hung up on approval while I was lights out. "
