Call Haskell from C (not C++) seems pretty easy:

- [Calling Haskell from C - HaskellWiki](https://wiki.haskell.org/Calling_Haskell_from_C)

And the FAQ on the Haskell wiki directly addresses this too:

- https://wiki.haskell.org/Introduction#I_already_have_a_large....

So apparently it is doable!

It pulls in a huge runtime system, though (including stuff like garbage collection). This makes it much heavier than calling some Rust code.

True, where "huge" means something around 10MB.

For many projects that is a showstopper.

HN supports a funky subset of Markdown. :(

Only paragraphs, code literals, italics, and URLs.
