What is the most production-level Haskell to JavaScript compiler, to write code running in the browser?

I am not looking for a necessarily super-robust solution with a 10-year track record, but for something that can be used in a real applications, and goes beyond just being able to run an Hello World example.

My preference is to run the compiler on the server, so I can compile Haskell code ahead of time. Of course, the solution would need to be more than just a compiler, and enable Haskell code to access the API available on the browser (DOM, XHR…).

Footnote: the projects I have seen so far don't seem to be actively maintained, or to go beyond being able to run "Hello world", or in some case even to go beyond a project description.

There is a more complete list here:

and there is also Fay (although it is only a subset of haskell)
