Is there an interest in hosting GHC on the JVM (besides my own). There's interest but my understanding is that the GHC backend architecture is not at all friendly to work with. That said, I hear in the next release (I think 6.12, not the 6.10 that's in beta) will have a redesigned backend

for generating native code, it just didn't seem worth the effort to shoehorn it into the JVM. Although I haven't looked at any of the new backend stuff, I suspect it still won't be suitable for the JVM. -Brian ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org

Sorry, as Chris Eidhof replied to me CAL is not pure. I was only playing with GemCutter, I don't use CAL so I didn't know. Fero On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 5:32 PM, frantisek kocun [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: There is CAL language (purely functional, very Haskell like, the most I have seen). CAL

There is CAL language (purely functional, very Haskell like, the most I have seen). CAL Eclipse plugin (IDE for CAL for non java-ers) is incredible, with support for code comletition, documentation, refactor, code navigation.. They have graphical editor GemCutter for it as well. You can use java

There's a YHC that can compile to JavaScript, and JavaScript can be run on Java... Which means, practically speaking, there is no YHC backend for the JVM. Regards, John A. De Goes N-BRAIN, Inc. http://www.n-brain.net [n minds are better than n-1] On Oct 11, 2008, at 11:08 AM, Brandon S.
