| 2026-02-04 17:40:53 +0100 | <merijn> | Not for "bazillions of short-lived tiny things" |
| 2026-02-04 17:40:46 +0100 | <merijn> | Refcounting is great when you have few mostly long lived big things |
| 2026-02-04 17:40:27 +0100 | <merijn> | tomsmeding: Additionally that just doesn't jive well with the garbage profile of most haskell programs |

| 2026-02-04 17:11:42 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | magic_rb: you can't suffice with refcounting for haskell, you get cycles all over the place that you have to collect with some kind of tracing GC |

| 2026-02-04 16:36:31 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | I've thought about a call-by-push-value lambda calculus compiler for haskell |
| 2026-02-04 16:36:12 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | I think it is a fun idea :) |
| 2026-02-04 16:35:34 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | the obvious downside is that almost the entire hackage system is inaccessible |
| 2026-02-04 16:35:29 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> The worst part is that I get an urge to write one myself too |
| 2026-02-04 16:35:08 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | its lovely to have a very tiny haskell implementation, to be honest |
| 2026-02-04 16:34:38 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> Oh cool. I should install and try it myself (= |
| 2026-02-04 16:34:15 +0100 | mesaoptimizer | sighs and reinstalls microhs again to double check |
| 2026-02-04 16:33:51 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | I see. I think that is what the switch that I recall may have been doing. |

| 2026-02-04 16:32:51 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> I meant building packages using ghc as the compiler and mcabal as the build system (mcabal calling ghc instead of microhs) |
| 2026-02-04 16:31:21 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | also I'm unsure what happens when you use the `--ghc` switch with mcabal |

| 2026-02-04 16:30:59 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | you mean the `--ghc` switch? yeah I have troubles with using cabal for effectively anything. If you have a working cabal setup for your GHC then I guess that works. I don't think that strategy is tenable for someone who wants to use only microhs + mcabal though |

| 2026-02-04 16:24:24 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> But can I build using ghc with mcabal? |
