well AIUI the upstream build system either compiles the C blob or uses GHC right? Not necessarily: https://github.com/augustss/MicroHs?tab=readme-ov-file#bootstrapping-with-hugs
(I also delete the C blobs to be extra sure I don't accidentally use them.) | 21:45:29 |
 emily | ah. but that's a separate branch of MicroHs? | 21:46:21 |
| emily | seems like it'd be ideal for it to be merged with the main one but I guess worst case it's just another hop | 21:46:43 |
| Alex | Yes, it's another hop, but the MicroHs build is under 5min anyway, so I'm not concerned.
It's a good idea to build a stage 2 mhs anyway. | 21:53:37 |
| emily | I do worry a bit about the part where he says the resulting binaries are 10x slower than GHC. | 21:55:36 |
