Asterius: A Haskell to WebAssembly compiler
Asterius is a Haskell to WebAssembly compiler based on GHC. It compiles
Haskell source files or Cabal executable targets to WebAssembly+JavaScript code
which can be run in Node.js or browsers.
It features seamless JavaScript interop
(lightweight Async FFI with Promise
support) and small output code (~600KB
hello.wasm
for a Hello
World). A lot of common
Haskell packages like lens
are already supported. The project is actively
maintained by Tweag I/O.
Demos
Demos of popular Haskell apps, running in your browser:
Quickstart using the prebuilt container image
We host a prebuilt container image on Docker Hub. The image also ships ~2k prebuilt packages from a recent Stackage snapshot for convenience of testing simple programs without needing to set up a Cabal project.
To use the image, mount the working directory containing the source code as a
shared volume, then use the ahc-link
program:
terrorjack@hostname:/project$ podman run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace -w /workspace terrorjack/asterius
root@hostname:/workspace#
There are a lot of link-time options available to ahc-link
, e.g. targeting
the browser platform instead of node
, adding extra GHC options or setting
runtime parameters. Check the documentation for
further details.
It's also possible to use ahc-cabal
as a drop-in replacement of cabal
to
build a Cabal project. Use ahc-dist
with --input-exe
on the output
"executable" file to generate actual WebAssembly and JavaScript artifacts. See
the diagrams
blog
post for an
example.
Check the documentation section
about the prebuilt image for more information, e.g. versioning policy, how to
use with podman
/docker
, etc.
Building and using asterius
locally
See the Building guide in the documentation for details.
Hacking on Asterius
We recommend using VSCode Remote Containers to reproduce the very same dev environment used by our core team members. See the Hacking guide in the documentation for details.
Documentation
We have documentation and blog posts:
- Fibonacci compiles end-to-end: Haskell to WebAssembly via GHC
- Haskell WebAssembly calling JavaScript and back again
- Asterius GHC WebAssembly backend reaches TodoMVC
- Haskell art in your browser with Asterius
- Edge computing with Servant on Cloudflare
Also checkout the HIW 2018 lightning talk, and the slides of an introductory talk in 2020 here.
Note that they may be slightly out-of-date as the project evolves. Whenever you find something in the docs of blog posts which doesn't reflect the status quo, it's a bug and don't hesitate to open a ticket :)
