Let's build a Cloudflare Worker with WebAssembly and Haskell
This guest post by Cristhian Motoche from Stack Builders explores how Haskell can be used to target WebAssembly, which is a portable binary instruction format that executes fast in a memory-safe sandboxed environment. The author demonstrates the use of Asterius, a well-documented tool for compiling Haskell to WebAssembly, and deploys it on Cloudflare Workers, a serverless platform that allows running code on the edge of Cloudflare infrastructure. The post also covers how to create a simple Cabal project using Asterius's ahc-cabal CLI and compile it to WebAssembly with ahc-dist.
