Earlier quoted context omitted.

the reason that won't happen is simple: GHCI works by doing dynamic linking. The iOS security model does not allow dynamic linking. (There may be some clever way to modify how GHCI works to change that, but offhand, its not obvious to me what that would be)

haskell has plenty of interpreters

True! But I like to use lots of the type extensions that ghc has! :-)
