This sounds cool! How would we go about integrating this with https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp ?

Aider is one of my favorite AI agents, especially because it can work with existing codebases. We've seen a lot of good results from folks who used it with Wasp…

What Hacker News says
4 sourcesAlthough AI has been all the rage lately, I was actually always excited the most by building a compiler. After a few years of dabbling with it, I created one together with my brother: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp
It is a DSL (a simple config language for building web apps) so not that complicated as a Turing-complete language, but still a lot of concepts remain.
As a good starting resources for building your own compiler I'd also recommend Crafting Interpreters, super nicely explained and fun to go through: https://craftinginterpreters.com/
In Let's Build a Compiler (1988)I know it is common to think that Haskell is used only in academia and side/weird-projects, but there is a decent amount of companies using Haskell - e.g. we use Haskell in production for developing a DSL / web framework for building web apps (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp)!
I participated teaching students Haskell on my alma mater this year and "what can Haskell be used for" was a common question, with genuine expectation that the answer will be it is limited to only specific use cases. I would answer that it can be used anywhere where languages like Java, C#, Go, and similar can be used -> it is a general programming language that uses garbage collector! And while somewhat harder to learn due to abstractions that we are all not used to, it is a delight to express business logic in it once you get to know it well.
The biggest factor
Read the rest
for deciding if Haskell is a good fit for the problem is probably ecosystem support -> are there enough libraries and tools to support efficient development in a specific problem domain. In our case, we are building a compiler/transpiler, and Haskell is well-known for great support in that area, so it was a no-brainer. We were actually also considering Rust, but we just had no need for that level of memory control and rather decided to go with language where we don't have to think about that (Haskell).
