I've been tooling around with Haskell for a few months now, and since the beginning I've been impressed with the incredible amount of polish that goes into the official distribution.<p>Maybe my expectations of an 'academic', FP language were low, but the clean, navigable design of the site, and easy to use package manager, and respect for the idioms of the various platforms (DMGs and not tar.gz's for Mac OS) show a regard for aesthetic that that even the 'friendlier' languages like Ruby or Python should strive for.
So now that we have <a href="https://github.com/kripken/emscripten" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kripken/emscripten</a> and a reliable LLVM backend for GHC, has anyone tried compiling Haskell to JavaScript? My instinct is that the world would explode but I can't be sure.
It seems like they changed the following since the last version:<p>GHC 7.0.2 -> 7.0.3 and text 0.11.0.5 -> 0.11.0.6.<p>So this is a pure bugfix release, as the version number would indicate.
This is much appreciated. I made the mistake of deleting my XCode 3 installation when I installed 4, which ended up breaking GHC compilation. According to the changelog they've fixed that issue in this release.
