Hi Guys,
I've been using fay for quite a few years now and in fact have contributed a few (usually minor) patches. I have been very happy with it, especially the simple fay <=> javascript ffi interface. I'm a little worried about the future of fay. Recently I tried to compile fay with the latest ghc (8.8.1) and ran into some problems. For example you guys are using an older version of haskell-src-exts, which is no longer being maintained. It is being replaced with ghc-lib. There was some other cruft that has been accumulating, but I don't remember what it was right now. I am considering switching the front end over to elm, but it would require a big investement in learning and rewriting existing code. So my question to you is: Is fay going to keep up with ghc development, or is it basically in a frozen state. Thanks for creating this cool piece of software, and I look forward to your response.
Best wishes,
Henry Laxen
