Please make a Nix derivation so we don't have to think about those horrible installation instructions.

They look pretty simple: unless I’m missing something, it’s just ‘stack install’, plus a couple more commands for each language you want to use with morloc.

This is fine if all you care about is functions. Very little in Python is just functions though, and the same is true in C++. The issue with FFI is always adapting the different concepts from one language to another. I can't see how (or if they try) to unify other language's OOP with a functional language over the top.

I like the idea though - one functional language to rule them all is a great dream!
