[mercury-users] lower level use?

[Rob]

Hello all.

I was just marvelling at what people are doing these days with software
- an extremely functional emulator for the Sony Playstation has just
been released (www.bleem.com, if anyone cares). This got me thinking..
obviously these sorts of things will be written in C, as it seems like
the type of task C was made for; it's all very low level, dealing with a
foreign instruction set and translating it. I was just wondering though,
could this sort of thing be done with Mercury, possibly making the code
much neater, and nice and functional?

Has anyone tried any (most likely much smaller scale) projects of this
sort before, perhaps?

ps, Ralph: I looked at that page of yours and read a few of the papers
(I am even going to tackle your thesis when I find some time to actually
read anything.. one week of semester left and I have projects for every
subject. :)  ), and what struck me as interesting was the Haskell vs
etc.. one. I never thought of making a literate script a LaTeX document.
How cunning. heh.

ps x2: DJ, Tom, any other developers that read this list.. Any thoughts
about a literate mode for mercury programs? The idea of having your
program as a compilable (or in the case of Haskell, an executable)
document seems so... *nice*.
