Hello,
Does any one knows of an Haskell compiler targeting the JVM ? And of one
targeting the .Net virtual machine ?

The UHC can compile to JVM[1, 2], but the backend is far from production-ready.
Also, I don't believe anyone is working on the backend currently.

There are some substantial technical challenges:

Not that it can't be done, but there's nothing ready yet.

A more subtle issue is that there's some sort of memory leak that arises
when you can't instruct the GC to follow projection functions of data
types. I believe the GHC heap representation has a built-in notion of these
forwarding closures and the GC follows them when possible, but most VM GCs
are
LLVM has a .net and JVM code generator. I don't think it is production ready
yet. GHC can generate code via LLVM. So in theory one could run on either VM.
However, see the Why isn't GHC available ... link below. The GC and library
integration would require lot's of work. Good senior project
