@Sridhar Ratnakumar or someone using GHCJS - what's your experience when it comes to performance? Do normal GHC optimizations apply? Is there some visible difference compared to e.g. idiomatic JS?
Probably a best question for #reflex-frp on freenode; however I can tell you that complex apps (like Slack) can be tricky to implement with GHCJS with smoother performance. https://www.wrinkl.com/ is a Slack-like app written in reflex/ghcjs - and you can see how it lags in practice. Most apps however do reasonably well, if you stick to FRP principles.

ghcjs emulates ghcs runtime, so the result is surely not "idiomatic js"
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about - normal GHC runtime is wildly different from what usual strict languages do
.. with some patches in reflex-platform, for example
textpackage is patched to use js string
