[Haskell-cafe] Is there an overview of backend technologies for Haskell?

[Joachim Durchholz]

Hi to all,

I'm wondering how the various backend technologies are regarded.
What trade-offs are involved (e.g. spineless-tagless vs. generating
machine code, seems to be very, very different), what options there
might be, what the choice would be if a compiler were to be written from
scratch, that kind of stuff.
The first two pages of a web search for "Haskell backends" returned only
references to GHC's LLVM backend. Which was interesting but not an
overview :-)
URLs welcome.

Regards,
Jo

One interesting comparison paper is Making a Fast Curry:
