[haskell-llvm] Maintainership still ongoing?

[Carter Schonwald]

Hey Scott,

Llvm-general has a better ffi story than llvm/llvm-base.  And provides a
nice way to map  back and forth between the Haskell AST and the llvm c++ in
memory AST.  It's really a markedly better substrate. And there's no cruft
in its build scripting!

If you'd like to ask folks about the llvm-general  bindings, the
#haskell-llvm irc channel on freenode is the way to go.

I'm not the right person to ask about the old llvm lib, hopefully someone
else can chime in.

Cheers

-carter
