About a year ago, Jeroen Leeuwenstein and I worked on CLR backend for
the Utrecht Haskell Compiler (UHC) [1].
That was a one-month project for a seminar at Utrecht University, and
the backend is far from being complete. But we did make some
interesting observations.
A particular caveat of the UHC

Perhaps this is similar to what you're looking for.

It's a pure, lazy language for the JVM. I haven't used it myself, but I
would imagine that
it would have a Java FFI.

There have been a couple papers published on it, the main sticking
I don't think it's pure. I would definitely use a pure language on the JVM, but
IIRC Open Quark / Cal is an impure language. For example, from the library
documentation: printLine :: String - ().

Oops, you're right. It's not pure. Mea cupla for not reading more
closely. I wonder how it deals with I/O, then? I don't see anything like
Haskell's monads or Clean's uniqueness typing... but at a closer look it
does appear to have an excellent Java FFI.

I have hypothesised a pure, lazy language on the JVM and perhaps the
.NET CLR with FFI to .NET/Java libraries. I foresee various problems but
none that are catastrophic; just often requiring a compromises,
sometimes very unattractive compromises. I have authored several
libraries in the same vain
