+  \large{In three simple steps really:} \pause
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item No Effort:\\
+    GHC API Parses, Typechecks and Desugars the Haskell code \pause
+    \item Hard: \\
+    Transform resulting Core, GHC's Intermediate Language,\linebreak to a normal form. Uses reduction rules. \pause
+    \item Easy: \\
+    Translate Normalized Core to synthesizable VHDL
+  \end{itemize}
+}\note[itemize]{
+\item Here is a quick insight as to how WE translate Haskell to Hardware
+\item Reduction rules are used to get a required normal form.
+\item Normal form already looks like hardware (components and lines)
+\item You can also use TH, like ForSyDe. Or traverse datastructures, like Lava?
+\item We're in luck with the GHC API update of 6.10 and onwards
