Re:Why are most browsers developed in C++? by cwzwarich on Wednesday July 31, 2013 @02:25PM (#6135818)
Having written web browsers / browser engines and compilers for functional languages, I don't think you could do this with anything that exists today. And if you did it, the result would not be idiomatic Haskell; it would just have one huge monad threaded through the entire thing with no pure portion. You would also probably have to drop down to unsafe manual memory management for performance reasons.
