While Haskell&#x27;s (well, GHC&#x27;s) runtime does have parts that are written in C, GHC itself is written in Haskell (and was originally written in a ML dialect I think). The lineage of FP languages seems to be very different than whats typical.<p>But yea, random blanket statements like that aren&#x27;t helpful.<p>There is an older Lua backend for PureScript (at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;osa1&#x2F;psc-lua" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;osa1&#x2F;psc-lua</a>) that may be worth checking out... if it gets a revival. AFAIK that version is a superset of (current) Elm, so it may be possible to combine it with love to get some sort of &quot;Elm for love2d&quot; :)
