...Developers write normal Haskell, use Cabal/Stack to build, then bundle the generated JavaScript alongside required support code. Interoperability with the JavaScript world is provided through a foreign-function interface, allowing Haskell code to call browser APIs or Node modules and to be called back from JS. The ecosystem includes packages tailored to GHCJS (for example DOM bindings and FRP libraries), enabling full single-page apps written in Haskell. Because it mirrors GHC closely, many pure Haskell libraries “just work,” making it practical to share code between server and client.

...It builds on GHC, lowers Haskell code to WebAssembly modules, and links them with a lightweight JavaScript runtime for I/O, GC interaction, and host integration. The toolchain provides commands to build and link (ahc/ahc-link), bundle assets, and target both browser and Node environments. Interop is a core focus: Haskell functions can call into JavaScript and vice versa, making it feasible to combine Haskell logic with web APIs. Asterius aims to keep as much of Haskell’s runtime model as practical while delivering the portability and startup characteristics of Wasm. By bridging GHC and WebAssembly, it opens a path to reuse Haskell libraries on the client side without switching languages.
