That JavaScript compiler for Haskell that you probably heard of as being awesome and pretty. You heard right.

Goes without saying: See the issues marked 'odhac': https://github.com/faylang/fay/issues?labels=odhac&milestone=2&page=1&state=open There's a fine selection of easy to medium to hard issues to close.

Other stuff that needs doing:

* Libraries binding to cool JavaScript libraries: Example, a PhoneGap binding: https://github.com/faylang/fay/issues/111
* The jQuery binding is god-awful and needs doing properly, preferably from scratch and preferably generated.
* Test cases, test cases, test cases.
* More benchmarks are always good.

That's the easy stuff. Harder stuff, probably the stuff I'll be doing:

* Patching and testing the various haskell-suite libraries, esp. the type checker.
* Add a generic serializer for the Automatic thing in the FFI.
* Finish the monad optimization of a >> b >>= \c -> d to _(a); _(b); var c = _(d); etc.

It would be nice to possibly port the AST to the haskell-suite's desugard AST and implement type-classes, but I'll have to evaluate that.

Possibly the biggest point of all:

'''Write some web apps with Fay.''' Consider this part of the ‘Getting Shit Done’ mantra. No point in writing any of these tools if we don't ''use them'' to make cool stuff.
