With Don Stewart's blessing
(<https://twitter.com/donsbot/status/267060717843279872>), I'll be
taking over maintainership of ghc-core, which hasn't been updated
since 2010. I'll release a version with support for GHC 7.6 later
today.

Thanks! I was needing ghc-core a few weeks ago. It'll be nice to see
this project maintained again.

Cheers,

Excellent!

With ghc-core being maintained again, we can start thinking about
compiling Agda to core instead of hs.

how would ghc-core enable targetting core for Agda?

I would like to be able to take the textual version of Core
output by GHC and use that text as input to the next stage of
compilation.

oo--JS.

Note that the ghc-core package only does pretty-printing of GHC core.
Whether GHC can parse a textual representation of GHC core (like Jay
and, presumably, Andreas want) is unrelated to the ghc-core package.

Thanks, Brent!

My post was based on ignorance.

OK, I would like to suggest a talk at NYHUG on the GHC pipeline.
Else I might look at it without the support of NYHUGgers and
drink.

oo--JS.
