Rewriting Dataframes for MicroHaskell
My fondness for alternative Haskells
Because I spent most of my college years travelling with the university’s debate team, I thought it would be cool to make a simple countdown timer with large bold text and changing colours that I’d use to time my speeches. A base-first design means the same front-end API can run on MicroHs for tiny CLIs or embedded contexts and on GHC for speed and ecosystem access. MicroHs binaries are ~100× smaller and ~5–10× slower for this workload; for many data-wrangling tasks that’s a great swap, and you can still keep a GHC backend for heavy lifting.
