3	madtroll	1555	Embedded Haskell: calling Haskell from other languages			proposed-project	2008-03-20T11:29:48-0700	2012-03-20T07:23:18-0700	"The Haskell FFI, and in particular, GHC, supports ""foreign export"" of Haskell code to C, and
embedding Haskell modules inside C apps. However, this functionality is rarely used, and requires
a fair bit of manual effort.

This project would seek to simplify, polish and document the process of embedding and calling Haskell code from C, and languages that use the C ffi (Python, Erlang, C++ ...), providing a
canned solution for running Haskell fragments from projects written in other languages.

A good solution here has great potential to help Haskell adoption (as we've seen in Lua), by 
mitigating the risk of using Haskell in a project.

Depending on the language, we may be able to move this under another language umbrella (Python, Perl, Ruby, ... ?)
