Gen2 is the new code generator that is nearing completion:

1. JMacro improvements/fixes (unassigned)
   • x.length-1 is parsed/printed as x.length(-1)
   • operator -= doesn't work
   • add missing ToJExpr instances for Ident and JVal
   • empty case statements, like: case 1: case 2: somestat(); cause parser problems
   • no direct way to declare a variable with a specific name: x :: String, [jmacro| var \(x)`; y `(x)` |]`
2. Linker improvements (luite)
   • implement lazy loading or bundles for new linker?
3. Optimizer (unassigned)
   • add optimizer passes to remove unnecessary assignments var x = y; var z = x; -> var z = y;
   • dataflow analysis to update hp and sp only once per function call (closure doesn't do this)
   • optimize register/stack: remove push/store if we know that the same value is already there
   • optimize stack frame layout: try to avoid repushes by reordering variables
   • if function calls itself directly, avoid going through the trampoline but convert to local loop (a limited number of times, to keep thread scheduling working)
4. Testing and test suite
   • add Travis-ci ( http://travis-ci.org ), possibly add tests/automatic builds for 3rd party libs
5. Standalone/integrated compiler usability
   • Try to get standalone working with GTK
   • See if Yesod devel server needs to be changed to support the standalone build
   • simple development thing that can recompile files automatically when hs file changed?
6. Cool demonstrations and example projects
   • FRP is hot, realtime too, some simple action game?
   • some traditional web application, interact with jquery-ui, do some client-server requests?
   • example for major web frameworks (yesod, snap?) that includes both ghcjs and native (server-side) code
