I agree with what you are saying. I'm just trying to suggest that getting
Haskell to work on the AVR is more akin to getting Linux to work on the AVR

balance.
the C++ part is what falls squarely on my shoulders -- for various reasons.
I also think they might be more likely to work - it would be a
shame for the students to spend ages getting all the bits in place for
Haskell on the AVR, only to find out that their quicksort example program
runs out of memory with more than 4 elements.
Don't worry too much about that.

I don't disagree with you on any of your points - I just want to be sure
that Gaby knows what he is getting into here,
yes, don't worry about that :-)
and that his time and effort is well spent.
Various people (including my family) have dramatically different
ideas about how my limited time should be spent :)
