FWIW, a booksprint (http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.reps.general/browse_t...) has been organized several weeks ago by people from Framalang (http://www.framalang.org/) and Frenchmozilla (http://frenchmozilla.fr/) to translate this book to french. The result can be consulted here : http://books.lifeleaks.com/eloquentjavascript/.

Haskell to build a site for a javascript book? I would have expected some client side mvc or maybe node etc.

Sarcasm? Not every JavaScript developper wants to use JavaScript for everything.

sure. but web seems like an appropriate use for javascript.

Which is why there's also a ton of client-side JS being used on http://eloquentjavascript.net . The Haskell program just converts the book from text to HTML.
