</a></blockquote></span><div><br>My understanding is that FFI helps you
to call into other languages from Haskell and vice-versa. I will
definitely need this, but what I can't figure out how to do is to
invoke the ghci or hugs interpreter programmatically, in-process. I
didn't see a way to do that in the links you listed, am I missing
something?
