iPhone, Meet Haskell

    Yes, yes, everything is correct - now under iOS you can write in Haskell! Here is a message from one of the creators of this miracle ( original ):
    Hello everybody!
    Stephen Blackheath and I are extremely pleased to announce that at the moment, GHC has the opportunity to compile into native code supported by iOS devices, as well as an iOS simulator. All you need is here: ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling/iOS
    In short, you can use "ghc-ios myFiles.hs" to get the universal ARMv7 / ARMv7s / i386 libraries and connect them to the project in Xcode.
    Now Stephen is working on wonderful FRP-powered games, I am working on the SpaceTime project, which I will announce soon, and you all must run to the computer and start writing for iOS in the best language in the world :)

    For reference: “GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) is one of the most powerful and advanced compilers of the Haskell functional programming language today, which is developed by a free working group of numerous developers assembled around the world and coordinated from the laboratory of the University of Glasgow."
